I have also been having lightheadedness and headaches. I went to the doctor about all this and wanted a referral for a cardiologist and an MRI. I got a cardiologist referal (from the nurse, actually) but the doctor didn’t see fit to do the same for my head. Even though I was having chest pains before passing out, she insisted that the next day I go to get my blood drawn six times over 5 hours to test for hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. I have never in my life had problems with blood sugar, or shown any symptoms of it, not has anyone in my family.I think there may be a problem with my heart.Since I passed out on Christmas day, I constantly feel somewhat weak, with chest pains and palpitations.I am not at all impressed with this doctor’s sense-she misdiagnosed me before. But despite all this,my Dad refuses to switch me saying he thinks she is pretty smart. Based on my experience, I can’t imagine why. Since I have to go back to college in NC on January third, should I call for referrals for NC doct

I Have Been Under Alot Of Stress, Getting Chest Pain, And Then I Passed Out?
February 25th, 2010Can Emotional/mental Stress Causing Chest Pain Have To Do With Your Heart?
February 20th, 2010i’ve noticed that i have the chest pain mostly when i have the emotional stress… not physical stress. i’ve had 2 different stress tests at the dr, but it shows nothing physcially wrong with my heart. none of my ekg’s or stress tests have been when i’m actually having the chest pain. i’ve tried muscle relaxants thinking it could be muscle spasms . they didn’t help at all. can a persons heart do “funny” things from emotional stress that a physical stress test won’t pick up if i’m not having the chest pain right then?
Chest Pain On Left Side, Stress Activated?
January 31st, 2010I am 40 year old male and diabetic for past 5 years. I gets chest pain ocassionally for the past 2 years. It is tolerable but it gives a feeling that my chest is blown up. I seen many Dr s and ECG were taken but they couldn’t find anything abnormal.
Sometimes this feeling comes when I get tensed at work and vanish after few hours. Sometimes it stays for 2 to 3 days. If I rub on chest area this feeling increases.
This comes only on my left chest and sometimes at the back of left shoulders. One Dr suggested that this is sign of Asthma.
Does anybody have similiar symptoms. Since it is at left side I am afraid this is heart related. If anyone knows please help
Does Stress Cause Chest Pain And Difficulty Breathing?
January 7th, 2010I feel as if I’m going to have a heart attack before I’m 40..I an constantly suffering from intense stress and its to a point to where my chest starts to ache(my left side/heart) and I have difficulty breathing. Occasionally I start to get extremely angry and just hold it in, but I show it.
Is this normal of stress and what exactly does it point to?
Could Chest Pains And Shortness Of Breath Be Symptoms Of Stress?
January 1st, 2010Rather than go into a brief life story of how I’ve been in a couple of toxic relationships in the last year I’ll just say how I’ve recently set to changing my lifestyle this includes eating properly going to bed and getting up at a proper time and todays been the first day I actually gone out on my bike (pushbike) in almost a year.
My finances could be better but I suppose everyone could say that I’ve had to make a lot of life altering decisions lately too, and start on my career as a writer.
I’m 32 years old, (on a good day I’m 9 and a half stone and 5’11 in height) yep I know I’m not a healthy weight for my height or age but thats the least of my problems could these chest pains (in fact they alternate to my stomach as well) and shortness of breath be stress related?
Thanks to all those who answer.

Is Taking A Stress Test Safe In Case Of Chest Pain?
October 9th, 2009I am a 27 yr old female and have been having minor chest and left arm pain for the last few weeks. I have seen the cardiologist and had preliminary tests taken. EKG, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, Echo ultrasound (while resting), weight(120 lbs) all came back normal. Diet is healthy too. But the pain persists.
I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and I think they will suggest taking a stress test. I have heard that there are some risks associated. And I am especially afraid because I am already having chest pain and it will get more severe if I exert. Any advice on whether I should take the test? Thank you.
What Can I Do About My Stress Symptoms?
October 8th, 2009i didnt even realise i was stressed! its around assignmet/exam time ..i been stayn up and doing way more work than usual..but i thought it was all under control. i neva once thought that im gona fail or not get it done on time..i was well on track. but than i got all these symptoms such as chest pains and other pains in diffrent parts of my body, sometimes felt a bit dizzy and its a lil bit harder to breathe. i’ve had these symptoms for under a week..they seem to dissapear when im out and not think about it but when im at home they come back although they are not as bad as the first night i experienced them. i saw a doctor n he ran tests and said everything was functioning normally. so im guessing this might be stress right? how do i make those symptoms totally dissapear?
