question: Hello...I am a 42year old female who is unfortunately about 25 pounds overweight....I do try to watch what I eat but fall off the wagon ever now and then. I used to exercise by running on my elliptical 5-6 days a week. I havent done that in some time since i had a herniated disc in my neck and was operated on last year. I did start back to the exercise about 3 days ago though. II have no history of heart trouble, no high blood pressure and my cholestrol runs borderline at times. At age 40, i was experiencing some anxiety and weird pain in my chest area so the doc sent me for a stress test.The cardiologist said mt heart looked fantastic and all was well. That pain turned out to be acid reflux. flash forward to present day...the last 5 days or so i have been feeling little twinges in my upper left chest area. Not painful but it scares me. I do not feel them when i ecercise and do not have shortness of breath or nausea/sweating. It seems to be mostly when i lie down at night. I am a major worrier and I am not sure if this is anxiety related or not. Of course wondering if your having a heart attack does little to sooth the anxiety. I currently take no medications but my multivitamin and fish oil. I did however just try a very low dose birth control pilll for the 2 months. I am no longer taking because the side effects were too much for me. I am not a smoker. I dont feel like I am having an emergency but thought maybe a call to the pcp is best. Advice?
