Hope you are okay tgb, sounds almost like you have an atrioventricular block. Also, you should have listened to them telling you to get to the ER. My post is WAY late, but it frustrated me at how unappreciative and almost ignorant you come across as. Bambi spent weeks on weeks giving you advice, as well as njoynlife. Maybe that comes with your age and being selfish and blind to genuine people trying to help you. Instead of sitti g on a website, you should have gotten your butt to the ER. Back to health, hopefully you got checked for Lymes disease. That can be a cause for some of this. Also, some build up, or vegetation, can be a sign of endocarditis. Any drug use in your history?
hopefully everything is good now. You are probably looking at at LEAST a pacemaker or ICD implant.
Best of luck. And next time, if you ask for medical advice, take it and listen to it .... Or don't ask!

Hi tgb,
Hows going on?You d not have to worry about that.Is all symptoms are similar to heart attack . thats the sign of stress .
Hi Cassie,
Here is Eva in Colorado.
I have had similar symptoms for three years now and after seeing so may doctors the consensus is that it is from ANXIETY!!! My pain were huge until I found out about LDN!!!! This stands for Low Dose Naltrexone.
It's a miracle RX that was developed in late 1970s for heroine addiction and then was used alcoholism.
In the early 1980s was discovered by Dr. Zagon that a low dose of no more than 4.5mg helps with MS and people can walk again!!!!!

One thing I'll say, women generally have different heart attacks than men do, but not all heart attacks show up in an ekg. There's a non-stemi heart attack that doesn't cause any blip on the ekg. What matters is that jaw pain and arm pain usually add up to heart attack. Go to the er, say chest pain and that gets you right in the door. They'll generally get you right back, give you four baby aspirin to chew and do an ekg and a blood test for troponin and those levels tell them if you've had a heart attack. I went by Dr order to get a test for that on a Tuesday and it was normal, but my Dr called me the next day to see how I felt and sent me back but this time to the ER had the troponin test again and it was 2.65 from .05 the day before, meaning I'd had, HAD an attack. Troponin is a chemical your heart gives off after a heart attack. As the time passes afterwards, the level goes up and then tapers off. I was sent to the heart center immediately and had a heart catheter and a stent put in. My second one. My first heart attack, I had the jaw and wrist pain, but didn't get it till the morning when I kept passing out from lack of oxygen. My boyfriend got me to the ER somehow and that's when I got my first stent.
With my second heart attack I didn't even have arm pain, just a mild throbbing pain in my jaw. I have a bad tooth and I chew ice all the time, and since I'd been out shopping and eating lunch with no problems I wrote it off. But, the Dr calling and saying " look just do me a favor and go to the ER and have them check you out" made me think.
I'm glad I went, I think my heart is doing pretty good and I've changed my wicked eating and smoking ways. And all I have to show for two heart attacks are two tiny little brown spots on my wrist where they did both caths.
