So here is an update with wverytho nng going on. I started having back pain and still feeling jaw pressure. The doctor ordered a pet and a ton of blood work. Bloodwork came back perfect except low hematocrit. I did the nuclear stress test and he said it looked great. However, tomorrow i am having a cardio angio ct scan. Im just so emotional and all over the place. Im scared somwthing is showing up. I notice when i stand up my pulse goes ip. So usually sitting its like 65 the. Standing up its like 110. Im ao scared i have a blockage.

All your stats seem perfect! Lucky you. IMHO if it were me I would be looking at anxiety causing your distress.

Good luck with this test "tomorrow i am having a cardio angio ct scan".

Do you have a portable heart rate monitor to check on regular basis?

Resting BPM is lower then an activity BPM.

UK papers wrote last month on new blood test "troponin" for women to check for any hear problems.

Did you doctors do this blood test?
