Coronary Calcification
For so many years the message has been that high cholesterol (specifically high LDL) is the predictor of heart disease. However, increasingly it seems that the best predictor is not high cholesterol, but calcification of the arteries. And the take home appears to be that if you have a zero or low calcium

Statins
I've just been told by my doc that my Q risk is 31.7, which means I have a 1 in 3 chance of stroke or heart attack in the next ten years. She has prescribed Statins, I'm already taking Amiodarone, Bisoprolol and Warfarin. Is anyone else taking the statins while taking rythmn meds? Thanks

Do not understand
I have just come out of hospital after chest pain and shortness of breath. I am told by the heart team that I didn't have a heart attack, however they found a small level of troponin (24) in my bloods and I was told that it raised between the 2nd and 3rd blood test. I thought that unless there was something

Pulmonary Embolism :(
Well hey guys first of all my anxiety for heart attack is gone :) but a new fear has come along, I constantly think I have pulmonary embolism. I've been having pains on the left side of my back. It hurts when I touch it. Is this a blood clot to my lung?!?! I'm freaking out

Fear of Dying of a Heart Attack
I felt a sudden press on my chest area 3 days ago and it was like I was having a heart attack and frankly I don't know if it was a real but short heart attack or something temporary. I'm just 18. I didn't want to go crazy and I calmed myself down but it scared me so much. I have shortness of breath,

Heart attack anxiety again
So for a week now I've been experiencing these symptoms: Pain in shoulder blades (it was sudden and sharp but went away) weird feeling on the left side of my chest, shortness of breathe, and sense of impending doom. All these of which are symptoms of heart attack. They all came on at different times

Afraid of a heart attack
Last night I had a major panic attack. First it started with sore muscles. I thought my heart was causing this so I freaked out. Then I was breathing heavily, as if I was sighing. Thirdly, my body was going NUMB and that was when I became terrified at maximum. I did not have any chest pains which reassured

Convinced I'm going to have a heart attack!
More or less every night for the last 4 to 5 months I spend my time panicking over having a heart attack. So much so that I don't want to go for a drink with friends or am to scared to play football with my 9 year old son! I have had an ECG which came back fine, but my head is telling me : how could

Heart attack symptoms?? Or not
I just had a sudden onset of pain in my jaw, it was both sides and radiated within minutes down to my chest where I felt crushing pain...all the while the ache in my jaw and my neck persisted. This happened to me about a month ago, twice...each time it eventually went away, within approx 3-4 mins I think

T3 and chest pain
Hi I'm sorry about posting this question again but I still have chest pain. I take 20 micrograms of Liothyronine. It feels like indigestion and develops into an ache around my heart and if I don't rest the pain goes to my left shoulder( but this rarely happens) but the chest ache is every day. I told

Recovering from Heart Attack
I am a 56 years old male who had two heart attacks in January. I had a double stent put in and I am yaking blood thinning medication as well as simvastatin. But there have been psychological issues for me - almost every day there is a point where I am sure that I am about to die. This is mainly because

I can't take it anymore!
I have had this anxiety for 6 months and once I was able to cure myself and get back to my old life. I faced my fears. But suddenly 2 months ago everything started all over again when I was alone! The shortness of breath, heart palpitations and chest pain. Those three symptoms really scare the hell out

PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND THIS
I really can't stand this. I have to share this. I am getting constant chest pains since lunch. Maybe I am mixing heart burns with chest pains. I just want some help to understand whether my condition is chest pain, or a heart burn. OR what is even the difference between these 2 things. What is happening
