cad what does

[joshua77]

What does cad feel like symptoms before and after experience with it all stuff like that do you have PVCs chest pains and I'm suffering with pains and weird things eating.

[joshua77]

My 30 day only held three 1 min recordings and tell them what the symptoms were all they told me was it wasn't an emergency and they hung up and reset monitor. Never had a 24 blood pressure this thatd be wierd. I don't know are docs seem to be a little less extensive this hole flip flop chest pain has me scared.

When I had a holter is done here, we have to be a lot more specific. I had a 24 hour one in which I had to write down continually what I was doing and how I was feeling. I also had a 24 hour blood pressure test, and had to do the same thing. It just revealed that when I had a bit of anxiety, my bp rose but soon fell again.

[joshua77]

They showed svt fastest heartrate of 180 longest run of nsvt was 5and my heart rate fluctuates all the time PACs and PVCs so they just said it wasn't my rhythm it was something else

[ed34]

so who has the holter results now? and what did they show?

[joshua77]

One more question if I did have cad say I had a run of svt at 180bpm or anxiety attack witch ever it may  be not sure at this point till holter comes back but sometimes tightness in back can come at 140bpm my heart rate also just goes from 80 sitting to 40 standing back to 150 so my cardio sent me to ep said It would be better to see him but after 30 day holter they sent me back to cardiologist which is really busy takes along time to get into see him sometimes upwards of a month and that's just to talk about scheduling the angio my gp said to get I don't no I'm just lost as the same as most docs are

[joshua77]

By the time I'm done talking with you I'll be a cardologist lol

well not really, artery disease just restricts blood flow and won't affect the rhythm unless the area carrying the main pacing signals is affected. With an inflamed oesophagus, you can expect it to rub against the vagus nerve which connects to many parts of the body, so different effects will be generated. It is also responsible for slowing the heart down when you feel calm and so has a direct effect on the heart.

[joshua77]

That's crazy you think it'd be the other way around.

stomach

[joshua77]

Was your heart skipping when your arterys were plugged or with the stomach issues?

[ed34]

Sounds more like a gastric issue. Last year I had what I 'thought' was really bad angina attacks, but it turned out to be an inflamed oesophagus. This shocked me because the symptoms were so similar, and it was also a obviously a relief. If stomach acid is reaching back into your oesophagus, then this will cause very nasty pain, and the pains are short in length, but often especially in the hours after eating. At night I too felt my heart doing something odd, but I have no idea if it was skipping beats or having extra ones. I just know it felt like my heart stopped, then gave a huge 'thud' and seemed to recover. This gave tingles through my body like a cold chill. The cure was simple, but it took three weeks. I consumed a lot of anti-acid medication which was purchased over the counter at the pharmacist (Gaviscon), and I added 2 extra pillows so I was sleeping more upright. This prevents the acid leaking out of the stomach. The idea is to allow the sphincter at the base of the oesophagus to recover, which is the trap door stopping acid flowing back up towards the throat.

My lasts for a split second then goes pain scale is like 8 and above mine also bother me more at night it'll get beating pretty good then a lot of pvcs waking me up

You could ask 100 people with cad what their symptoms are and you will be astonished at the variety. It depends on what part of the heart is affected and by how much. It also depends on how hard your heart can work before those symptoms kick in. In 2007, I was vomiting after every meal and having incredible pains which I believed to be my stomach, as did my general Doctor. This went on for nearly a year and I was sent to a gastro specialist. I was very shocked when after just 1 question he said "it's your heart". Two weeks later I had a heart attack. Cad symptoms are called Angina, and these symptoms present themselves when some part of the heart is not receiving enough oxygen to work properly. In other words, the cells struggle. Symptoms can be throat discomfort, jaw ache, chest pains, shortness of breath, back pain, arm pains, dizziness, tingling over body, nausea, sweating, and some people feel absolutely nothing. I personally had throat discomfort with shortness of breath through all my years of blockages. As soon as my heart rate hit 120-140, boom, in came the discomfort. If I ignored the throat discomfort and carried on with exertion, I would be presented with chest pain. Once I stood, or sat still, the discomforts would all go within around 2 mins or less. As soon as the heart slows down, the discomforts disappear, and that doesn't take long at all. This type of angina is known as stable angina. Stable means you can predict it, you know it will happen on exertion, then stop when you relax. Unstable angina is something different and is caused by different problems. For example, unstable angina can be caused by a spasm in an artery, restricting blood flow. With no particular trigger event, you never know when this will occur, so it's unstable.
When we eat, blood volume is lessened to certain areas of the body, and this allows extra to be fed to the digestive system. It also makes the heart work harder. This is what caused my chest pains and the pains lasted for around 10 mins. They would start usually around 5 mins after eating. It got so bad that I was actually scared to eat. A heart attack is very different, in that the pain doesn't stop, even if you relax.
