From your previous posts it seems as if you have had loads of tests .. if there was any cardiac issues the drs would have seen this by now .. I honestly think you are having anxiety or panic attack s .. which in themselves are very scary .. relaxation techniques may help to calm these .speak to your GP for help on this .. as for any cardiac issues I think by now they would have found something if there was anything wrong x

sorry mark but you are so wrong in your 'they would have found something' although l would agree op is a bit panic stricken by the sounds of the post.

until l had a cardiovascular m r scan (3 years in like op) l was called a fraud many times. (as far as l know the royal brompton is the only hospital in the uk to have such a machine) they then found that l was having vascular spasms - they saw them/one. there are many more heart diseases out there than just blockages, although at times we are made to believe that interventualist cardiology (blow it up, put a spring in or bypass it) is the only cardiology that exists.

like l should have told shannon before, talk to your gp and ask for a referral to a clinical cardiologist not an interventionist cardiologist

And for any cardiologist reading this, l have subendocardial damage because of hypoperfusion. (lack of oxygen to the hearts endocardial layer to the layman)

im not saying anyone is being fraudulent.. far from it but apparently vascular spasms are very rare in young adults .. id like to think that after trying everything else this would have also been looked into by cardiologists.

See a doctor for an appointment with a cardiologist if the doctor thinks that's what you need ,if not you will have to go private

Good luck

Go back to your go with the advice above that you have been given. Remember gp are general practitioners....not specialists,

Not what you're looking for?
