Concerns!

Hello Again Everybody!

Just have a few questions and concerns! Had extreme pain in the right arm from my fingers up into my neck, jaw, and ear/head. Could not use the arm due to pain and weakness, the only explanation is some type of vascular seizures, however, with the anti-seizure meds the pain in my chest that had come back is gone. Has anyone else experienced this? My pm was put in in May of this year along with a stent. It hurt so bad it took my breathe away!
Being a woman I know we do not always present with the same symptoms as a man for heart failure, so that's why I went to the ER, all the test came back normal. When do we stop feeling scared when chest pain or other heart related symptoms appear?

Thanks! Naomi

When you can

I'm only an L plater too (8 weeks) I definitely felt over sensitive to everything in the first 5 weeks or so. It's just starting to get a bit easier. Eg, it's not a constant reminder now that my wound site isn't aching.

I returned to emergency with a clot at the groin cat better EPS study site after 5 days. Over sensitive to the pain but got it seen to.

After 5 weeks or so I felt significantly less stressed about the prickly feeling in my chest.

I'm sure I'll find a new normal. And so will you

Hang in there.
