i having angina pains for about 15 yrs, altho i live a relatively normal life, i am 34 yrs old, and is recieving treatment for hypertension. Towards the end of last yr, i drank/smoked heavily and woke and started having problem sleeping on my left side, if i try to, i have a feeling that my heart is filling up with blood and cannot pump them out effectively, i have to lie on my back to sleep or sit up.i also feel some discomfort or slight pain in my chest when i try to check my blood pressure. My doctor recommended an ECG, heart Echo and x-ray, the ecg was normal as well as the xray, but the cardiac echo test showed that i have enlarged left ventricle and thick endo…, but my doctor doesn’t says he doesn’t think the enlarged left venticle is responsible for my not been able to sleep on my left side, he told me take my bp drugs more often (captopril, norvasc, delayed action nitrates) and some NAID. He also recommended that i take GTN or some nitrates to relieve me of the pain when its very intense, i tried it and i got some relief last night, I want to know whats really wrong with me, is my condition getting worse, will the pain go away eventually or is it the beginning of the end for me…
i have stopped drining and smoking since this yr but my gf upset me some days ago and i went out and drank and smoked heavily, i woke up in the middle of the night with my heart racing rapidly, i felt as if i will faint, i prayed to God to save me cos i knew something terrible might happen to me, God directed me to take some atenolol which i did and immediately my heart stopped racing…what is really happening to me
