Two years ago, as a healthy but extremely stressed 57-year-old femaleCondoms Female condoms Female sexual dysfunction, I experienced severe back pain while camping. It began as just an annoyance in the morning, between the shoulder shoulders intensive treatment Shoulder arthroscopy Shoulder pain blades, and grew in intensity until I was on the ground cryingColic and crying Crying in infancy. I did have shortness of breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor, although I just thought that was because of the pain. My kids told me I looked greenGreen tea, though I don't remember experiencing any nausea. I also experienced debilitating exhaustion after, as though I'd been drugged. It didn't occur to me at the time, believe it or not, that it was anything more than a torn muscle or something, although the pain was entirely gone the next day. When I returned I got checked & was told I have a new RBBB, and a stress test indicated a small fixed perfusion abnormality in the proximal to mid inferoseptal region. My doctor told me at the time that it was just an anomaly in the testing, that I just had a "pulled muscle," and said there was no indication of any arterialArterial embolism Arterial insufficiency blockage in the results. Is this something I should see a cardiologist about? I'm questioning because I don't have insurance, and have been laid off. I do have a history of palpitations and arrythmias, with palpitations occurring at night, and a strong family history of heart disease. I am extremely health conscious.
