Thanks for taking the time for answering my question. I am a 34 yr old female, 118 lbs, don't drink nor smoke. I have been having some pain/discomfort in the left shoulder and collar bone area and down my upper part of my left arm (not inside the arm but outside) and also my left neck area as well as my upper left back area and sometimes my left breast area. I do notice that when I press upon the top of my shoulder or on my left side under my arm, it makes it hurt worse sometimes. I did have an treadmill stress test 2 weeks ago - the doctor said I could not reach my target heart rate (I am on Lopressor for tachycardia and I am on Synthroid and I believe I may be subclinically hypothyroid.....last time my TSH was high but t3 and t4 was normal.......and my dr. didn't increase my synthroid dose). He thought I probably didn't reach my target heart rate because of the Lopressor or that I may be hypothyroid. The whole reason for the stress test was because I complained of a very forceful and sometimes fast heartbeat when I try to do something (shooting basketball, tossing ball with my kids). SOmetimes I notice an irregular beat (PVC's maybe). I do have a family hx of hypertension and CAD (my dad). I am real concerned that I have CAD or something. I don't know why I feel so tired and have these irregular, forceful and fast beats when I try to do something physical. I used to be athletic, but will admit after I have my twins 3 years ago and I haven't stayed in shape. Is all this from being deconditioned, back or neck problems or could I have CAD?
Thanks again!!!!
