is 'dizzy spells' somehow connected with a heart problem?

[iraklibox]

Recently was filling up questionnaire for my mum and came across 'heart related problems' and in the list of symptoms was 'dizzy spells' recently I tried a bicycle in the store and after riding it for just a 10 minutes got little dizzy and hole day felt like this in the past a had a mild heart attack in 2001 since that I cant do lots of physical activities but i do not know why should I have problem riding bike  slowly and for a pleasure but every time I did I had little uncomfortable feeling in my chest and now happened this I felt dizzy. can anybody tell me should I forget about bike all together to save my self or there is a solution.

Im sorry, could you explain a little more.  

You already had a heart attack?

And currently do you have symptoms?

[iraklibox]

every time i cycle I get uncomfortable feeling in my chest and at the last situation I had a dizziness was sort of light headed for whole day I do not know is it dangerous to carry on? i do not want end up with the stroke in hospital..

Did you have a heart attack in 2001?

[iraklibox]

I think it was an attack because I was chocking there was not a sharp ultra sharp pain like some people describe but there was a chocking experience and then when I already arrive in Britain I learned from newspapers that chocking is a sign of a heart attack since that event my life turned upside down completely I cant do so many activities I devoloped problems with blood presure and so on..

Have you had any medical testing?

[iraklibox]

I had a few ECG or what ever this long paper that didnt show nothing and in 2009 my GP sent me to have the run on the trademill also didnt show nothing but I bet that if thay would tested me on the cycling device it would show something.. I never tested my self on a fullbody scan cause GP would simply want send me there and if I will do it my self Cardiology test on this fullscan device in the UK it costs £200 wich happened I never had for that couse..

[iraklibox]

won't send me I meant..

[ayl291]

I think you need a stress echocardiogram.  

[iraklibox]

the most problem is that how on earth I will explain this to my GP for them the first step is the ECG and this is the dead end..

[iraklibox]

but thanks I will have it in my mind..

[ayl291]

Simple, let them know you have x,y,z symptoms and you would like your heart imaged.  Stay firm but polite!

[iraklibox]

will do that thanks for an advice )

Please see your cardiologist. If you no longer follow a cardiologist your Md. if no Md. go to your local ER with the chest discomfort. Don’t let it get bad. And get checked out immediately!!!  Yes, you are exhibiting cardiac problems

thanks darling I just saw ur comment now sorry for late reply it is very warm of you yesterday I hired a bike and cycled just for one hour (in very soft style when the joggers were overtaking me) but afterwords whole day was so lightheaded and today in the morning also clearly I didnt like what I was feeling in my head, and there was a very little but still little sour experience under my left ribs more down that I know for my experience that is connected with heart.. I booked today appointment with my GP for of July if everything will go OK and I will convince him that I need a stress test as have been advised than I will ask him to send me for a cycling test.. before that I do not want to go for cycling again.. thanks again for your very caring response.. )
