Chest Pains without enzymes showing a heart attack
I have been experiencing severe chest pains much like that when I had my prior heart attacks. I went to the ER over a week ago and after a stress test, it was determined that it was angina. But now, not only do I have the chest pains, I am having skipped beats that takes my breath away. It is so hard to catch my breath at times. I also have a feeling of faintness from time to time. I am without insurance, so I can't follow up with a cardologist, but I know there is something wrong. I can't convince the residents at the county hospital of this. I am wondering if a heart cath would prove this. It sucks today without insurance. I always had it until I lost my job. I went to the ER with chest pains and shortness of breath shortly after I lost this job and before I could put a policy in place. They found the right coronary artery was blocked 90%. That was it. I had been diagnosed with CAD and now no insurance will accept me unless I have around $800 a month for a policy that won't cover the CAD for 12 months anyway................Please help!!

It seems "they" have found a new playground and with all the drama and nasty remarks, have managed to run off quite a few people that really needed some support. It's really sad when you think about it. I feel like I'm watching horrible re-runs of Beverly Hills 90210, only with new players and more back-stabbing.
Anyway, I wish you the best. May you find health, kick the biggy insurance companies kesters, and decide to re-visit us. Most of us members (speaking of those that I have come to know that have been around here for awhile) are actually quite nice, compassionate, and knowledgable and really will have your best interests at heart.

I f you write as a "shrink "as our Sue once called you , or "headhunter" or psychiatrist as you are called at north or just jan bc....always interesting to read you islandmomma...good to see you are clicking........
...and I hope you save this site to re-visit.

It is real a pity: no edit button here isn't it?:)
I do not know this place, Celeste, and regret intruding. I only know some of the people and was led here by others who knew I had an interest some time ago. I shall retreat now and have not saved the site to re-visit.
I have no hostility as far as I can find it in me re this issue... I have lots of 'real' sources if I need any to add hostility to cardiopulmonary disease itself and post CABG, as well as being now well into litigation with biggy insurance companies.. I choose to be as positive as I can be. My new goal is to be less trusting/stupid/naive. For me, that is a HUGE one!!

I say again "Beware, those of you who truly seek support and info on these sites, you shall find out that there are other pitfalls to watch out for". I nonetheless understand (and have been there) re the need to know and seek support.
I do not mean to insult anyone here before, since, or henceforth. I suspect that none of us want to do that. If this post is mistrusted, then it shall be.... I just hoped to spare someone equally naive a disillusionment if all is believed as presented on this (or any other) site.

I see no reason for you to go.
The important thing is that you have helped yourself get better. Mental breakdowns are no different then any other illness. We all have our breaking point and god knows the havoc physical illness and mental stress can cause or the lengths one will go to find relief.
You've tried to make your peace, you've apologized enough.
Forgive yourself, let go of the past, and leave the rest to whallow...

You posted right as I did. My post above was not directed at you. Though I don't know you, or about you, you seem to be a kind and caring and most importantly, forgiving women.
Not that it matters, but you've restored some of my faith in people.

Don't be silly. I meant no ill will. I never did. Your 'demon' is not an uncommon one nor unknown in my family. It makes you no less worthwhile Jack. It just makes you much more vulnerable and much more unpredictable.
Let this be, I beseech you. I apologize for needing to verify this whole thing for myself....
We all have our various demons...mine are not that different...
Nite Alabama Jack!!:). I am sorry for disturbing your new place and am now shutting up (unless you want a response, in which case, I am sure that you will let me know)....
Good luck, fella (no sarcasm intended---I have generally not been good at the arts of sarcasm or subterfuge---sorry)....
