I have LAD myocardial bridging.

To: myocardial bridge
I have had chest discomfort, shortness of breath and lightheadedness for the last 1 1/2 years.  I am 33 ( 6 ft 180 lbs, non-smoker, do not drink, no family history of cardiac issues).
After 3 visits to the ER with the above symptoms, I have had a MANY tests and eventually two Heart Caths (not to happy about that) I was diagnosed with Myocardial bridging.
What meds/treatments can help with the symptoms I still have.  The only thing that has changed is at least now I know why I feel like crud most of the time.

Thanks
