So after my first visit with a very good EP in my city they want to do an EP study and do an ablation based off cardia mobile and Apple Watch catching these.

For 10 years I was told it was just panic attacks and for 10 years no one listened to me. One visit and this guy seems pretty confident what’s been going on. Is an EP study something to be scared of?

I’ve broken my femur and had some nasty surgeries in my day. But my mother is worried about having anything done to my heart at 30 years old.

If it could take away the episodes and never take medication I’d be very happy but worried about the risks of it

I have left sided chest pain that feels like burning and sometimes squeezing. Worse when laying. It sometimes also just all day. I’ve been to ER 3 times. All clear. And had two heart work ups.

I have a PPI I plan to take again after another h pylori test. I have upper GI planned. I do have GERD but hate this feeling and gives me horrible anxiety because it’s more left than center? Anyone else have this?

I found out I have sleep apnea. I sleep horrible. Wake up tired and a headache. But sometimes I’ll get scared awake with a very fast heart rate. I did a holter and they said it was normal sinus nothing scary. But it’s like a full out panic attack. Happens a few times a night

I have severe health anxiety and what I think is agrophobia

I will be in an open space and feel weak, like ill faint, HR jumps, all that. It sucks. It makes me not want to do anything.

I take lorazepam as needed. For years it helps stop bad panic attacks. I recently lost my father and alot of other bad stuff and will get this sinking feeling then an adrenaline dump almost daily.

I’m not taking lorazepam more than 3-4 times a month. I’m scared of anything entering my body. I always fear the worst.

I finnsly let them give me contrast during a scan. And it gave me a panic attack when I felt it.

I’ve had 3-4 heart workups. Brain work up. All normal. I constantly worry about my heart and health.

I’ve heard wonders propranaol works for people. But also read people getting bad side effects. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hello, I’m 29 YO man, I’ve been having chest pain on and off for years now. I get dizzy, I get weird feelings. Chest burning and pressure in left side. I’ve been to the ER 5-6 times in the last two years alone.

Every test is normal.
-echo, 2 times now. Normal
-countless normal ekgs
-normal stress test x2
-normal holters and telemetry
-normal glycemic control
-HS CRP 1.1
- troponin is normal (7)
-x rays and scans all good
-every blood test, normal
-sedimentation rate, clotting, all good.
Leg Doppler a few months ago. Normal
MRI of abdomen for kidney stone check and heart was good

I’ve lost 40 pounds so far. I do have very mild sleep apnea I just found out about.

Triglycerides 77

I do have GAD ( generalized anecity disorder ) and panic disorder.

My dad had CAD died at 81 due to a car wreck

I get flutters and that’s about it. Pain normally gets better when I work out or move. Worse when sitting and after eating. I do have GERD.

I am advocating for my health because me and my wife want kids. I want to be around a long time.

Is there anything else I can do? Went to different ERs had two cardiologists do workuos many times

Only scan I haven’t done is a calcium scan, they said I’m to young and everything else is normal. We can do it when you’re a little older.

I know anxiety and health anxiety doesn’t help.

My dad’s family all has clogged arteries, but also all were 350+ pounds for most their lives. All lived 85+ and some still alive.

Sorry for the long post. I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything

Exercising about 150 minutes a week of walking and lifting and determined to lose the next 40 pounds ( 250 now 6’ tall)

Constantly worried anytime my heart skips or races and want to be my best self for my family

Thank you so so much for any advice

I’ve been having weird anxiety and feel like energy crashes.
I have an A1c of 5
Fasting sugar between 84-93

Insulin 44..

I had insulin tested 2 years ago and it was 25.

But my fasting sugar was 110.

I didn’t eat the best but the last 6 months have dropped 30 pounds. Adopted a pretty good diet of
Eggs

Chicken veggie potatoe

Same for dinner

Almost daily. I dropped my triglycerides from 170-92 but was shocked to see the insulin at 44. I get such bad “crashes” but never get low blood sugar.

Is there hope?
