[marlyn_128]

Im always experiencing palpitation and i think chest pain too. Its like sudden stab on my chest. But no pain on my neck and back. I went to cardio and have some some test like ecg and 2d echo. On my ecg result there have handwritten says "anterior wall ischemia" i havent back to my doctor. Can somenone explain to me. Attached photi is the actual result.

Ed34 is correct.  Keep in mind that women don't always have the same symptoms as men do when it comes to having heart disease.  Contact your cardiologist on the next business day and make an appt. to discuss the results and plan of care.  Don't wait until it's too late!

You don't have to be fat, you can be as thin as can be. It starts with the artery lining becoming damaged, this is only one cell thick. Once it is damaged, cells get trapped in the artery wall and then the immune system takes over which inflames the artery. Once your immune system attacks the cells, eating them, the cells die and turn into foam cells (fat cells). You end up with pure fat in your artery wall, which cannot dissolve in blood because blood is mostly water. You then form a crust (plaque) over the mess, blocking it in the wall and depending on the size of this, a blockage is formed. Don't go looking for cures, there are none. If the crust ruptures at any stage, then the mess underneath can be released, forming a total blockage in the artery. Now, this is going by what the report says, and an Angiogram is needed to establish the condition of your arteries. I would request that they go through the radial artery in your arm because there is far less risk. There is no way to bleed to death from the radial artery and there is no way you can damage nerves in that area.

I think that blockage is cholesterol right? I am not fat either, actually Im underweight. thats why im wondering why i have this kind of result :/

The front of your heart has an artery blockage and needs to be opened up.
