I have panic disorder and agoraphobia. They say that stress can cause heart attack takotsubo syndrome even if I have a healthy heart. I'm constantly afraid of being scared because of this situation, please help me in case I get too scared and die.

Three weeks ago, I had another cardiac event called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Again, I asked this new cardiologist the question about GCA and PMR, He had no answer. I think that there is a relationship between GCA and cardiac events. I would love your opinion.

I’ve just been discharged from hospital and diagnosed with Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. I’ve been under immense work related stress the past 1.5yr. Consultant has stopped my HRY and Duloxetine 60mg cold turkey. He had introduced two new drugs called bisoprolol 2.5mg an ramipril 2.5mg.

Hi there, I'm new here after my cardiologist says I've potentially had Takotsubo syndrome. Has anyone else had this at all and did you recover well? In particular anyone who was diagnosed a while ago, have you had repeat episodes or any further issues? I'm reading conflicting peer reviewed medical papers

Hi again, I saw a nhs cardio rehab nurse who said she was at a loss where to go with me as I was a takotsubo patient and she normally saw people with stents and pace makers. I was made to feel like it was a psychological illness and therefore needed no follow-up treatment 😒. The nurse did apologise

I live in North Carolina and I have sick sinus syndrome and afib as well as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. I just learned a few weeks ago about the newer leadless pacemakers. I understand they are becoming the standard as compared to the wired versions with leads.

So .... I was minding my own business when my heart broke ... literally! My cardio rehab nurse pointed me in the direct of the group for moral support and online friends in a similar situation. ... so hi I hope I'm in the right place? Wondered if there's any other folks out there who share my diagnosis

Hello, I have stress cardiomyopathy (takotsubo) and ended up stopping studying at university due to chest pains, breathlessness, etc. this month. Do you have any better tips for recovery from the symptoms? I originally like a healthy lifestyle, caffeine-free drinks and vegetables.

I have copd and takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I'm wondering if I'm entitled to it. Any advice would be more than welcome..tia.

I’ve been suspecting that I may have a couple different things, including Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, because of my continued chest pain & heart symptoms (one month post a 70% ventricular block and stent) and because of the extremely stressful things I’ve been dealing with.

It took a while to get to a diagnosis (initially I was treated for PPCM which is extremely similar) but I have been diagnosed with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. I am showing good signs of recovery and have been told there is a slim chance I will have another episode.

I’m new here please can someone help me? 5 days ago I had chest pains and was admitted to hospital as a heart attack as my blood test showed high enzyme levels In hospital my blood pressure was very low they had me on several blood thinning tablets also aspirin.

I’m sorry I’m so unsure of what my figures should be - little background info - approx 25 years ago had thyroid removed due to multinodular goiters - 6years ago had Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (discharged with clear arteries) which my doctor indicated could be due to too much thyroxine so reduced me from

diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy, but puzzled as to what caused it. Only thing that was different was that I had my booster vaccine a few days before. Interested to hear from others with this diagnosis as to what they think/know caused it. Thanks
