Hello all ... I breeze in and out ... I have coarctation , repaired age six,and bicuspid valve , not yet severe enough for surgery ... with beginnings of aotic small anerysm. Can't spell either...Have had quite an enormously stressful couple of years ( divorce,no need to say more !)
Anyway , I have had the all clear from cardio recently , about six months ago , but my chest feels wierdly tight across the top . I have experienced fainting spells ( usually when lifting heavy objects, that I try to avoid ) and on intense exercise , sometimes see dots , I find my gp completely useless .. I wonder if chest tight sensations and feeling like I need to take deeper breathes is due to stress or something more ? I practice yoga , exercise regualrly and have a sensible diet , am now wondering if I ought to consult with gp , or take up further deep breathing exercise , I have experienced a sharp stabbing pain in my left chest when I breathe in, and sometimes , can't take a deeper breathe because it hurts too much , am sure this may be stress ? , any one have any thoughts on this . Sounds alarming but has been going on for a while and I am still here !! hmm ... I do not want to waste gp time , they make u feel like hypo anyway ! I don't think we can underestimate stress on the human body , am sure that is what it is , but must admit , the breathing in and sharp pain when i try to breathe even more deeply has alarmed me and I am pretty alarm proof !
