question: In Sept. 2012 I had chest pain, weakness, short of breath, and numbness in my left arm. I was checked at my local  ER. There was information that I was not informed about concerning my heart and cholesterol. I followed up with who is now my primary physician. Since all this began, I have been diagnosed with CAD, 40% blockage in a main artery, Asthma, Gerd, Sleep Apnea, Neuropathy legs and hands, and Restless leg syndrome. I have also undergone sinus surgery due to what has become a chronic fight with laryngitis. Both my ENT and I believe there is an underlying cause for the reoccurring sinus and throat infections. However, I have seen a rheumatologist and he believes it is a coincidence of events. I have had continuing pain and pressure in my chest. What could be a cause for these events or is all a coincidence?
