Chest Pains & PressureFrom: Cheryl (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 14 May 2000 15:05:36 -0500 (CDT)
I have recently been diagnoised with high blood pressure.(family history - mom and brother) Chest Pains, pressure and rapid heartbeat sent me to my pcp, who in return sent me to a cardiologist for evaluation. I am currently taking Tenormin (.25mg 1x), baby aspirin (slight stoke last year) and nitro for the chest pain and discomfort. The cardiologist also recommended that I discontinue Premarin for two weeks to see if the symptoms would calm down (they did not) and then switch to Climara .025mg patch (TVH/BSO '99), which I did. I had a stress-echo, which was basically normal. She did state that the septum was not as hyper-dynamic as she would like to see it, but was not concerned, but that I definitely had a blood pressure problem. Because the symptoms persisted, I had a heart cath last week. Fortunately, no blockage, etc. I am to continue the Tenormin and use the nitro as needed for the angina with the hope that things will calm down in a few weeks. Several friends have asked if tests have been run for thyroid,gall bladder problems or diabeties. If the pains persist, is this the next course of action, or are there other heart related problems that could be causing the pain? (FYI, stress has already been ruled out as a potential cause.)Would I be having other symptoms associated with the thyroid, etc.? I would appreciate any and all comments for those who would care to share.
