Avatar n tn I have had a very mild heart pain for many years. It never occurs during exercise, always at rest. Numerous doctors have told me it was musculoskeletal but I have always worried about it.

I do have trouble managing my weight (200 lbs at 5 ft 6 in) but my blood pressure and cholesterol have always been very good.

4152590 tn?1350772856 I had a bad night last night. First, I had to sit through a 5 hour meeting yesterday and developed what i think is sciatic nerve pain down my left buttock and leg. I've had this kind of pain before and don't think it's MS related. Then, last night, I was working on an important document on my computer and lost it. Needless to say, I was very upset. It was late, so I just called it a night.
Avatar m tn The only thing that I have found to reduce fatigue is moderate exercise. Obviously you don't want to overdo it. If you exercise excessively, that will increase your fatigue. But I find that 10 - 20 minutes of moderate cardio (such as walking, running, stationery bike or elliptical) followed by 5 minutes of stretches and 10 minutes of mild weight training works well. For some reason, the weight work is more easily tolerable than the cardio.
1091003 tn?1257710173 m not sure what the cause and effect here is, but as you say, exercise is supposed to reduce stress. Still, if you suffer from anxiety and for some unrelated reason you had some heart palps after/during exercise and then go it in your mind the exercise caused the problem... well it could be that's enough to trigger it. I think you should talk with you doctor about treatment for anxiety and see if that helps.
Avatar f tn My mom had high cholesterol (but never had clogged arteries.) I've had a tendency towards it as well but am thin, work out and have a good diet. Three years ago, my cholesterol came back at 280 (total) with LDL at 156. I told my dr. I'd exercise/diet for 3 months and if that didn't work, I'd go on meds. After daily exercise and strict diet (hardly any saturated fat) my total cholesterol was brought down to 198.

Avatar n tn Is there a drug that I can use to reduce my stress levels while trying to conceive and taking fertility medifcine? I have this theory - my periods started being irregular in my final school year when I was 18 - and the year was very stressful. The dr then said I will have problem trying to conceive - which was true until I fell pregnant with my son without trying to conceive(a very stress free period in my life). That was 6 years ago - and no lucky surprises since then.
Avatar f tn can I refuse to do a nuclear stress test? I have a treadmill at home and can barely complete 3-5 minutes on it without be tired and out of breath.

160332 tn?1207762545 Remember that your heart is a muscle. When you stress it by exercise it will act up just like any other muscle. So if you want to reduce palps after exercise then be consistent and don't overdo it. The fact that you have anxiety also means that your body is living in a fight or flight mode. When you start exercising that means more adrenalin to the heart. That could also cause more palps.

Avatar m tn The cardiologist give me an OK to exercise since during the stress test I went about 10 heart beats higher than expected without an abnormality. I should try this and also loose some weight (presently ~ 192lbs for a 5'8" tall), very little 'pot belly'.
Avatar f tn Could my cardiologist have been wrong about it being safe for me to exercise? I usually exercise for longer than the 14 minutes I did in the stress test. Should I take a beta blocker to try and stop the post exercise PVC’s? I wanted to avoid beta blockers because I’ve been hoping I’d improve on my own. Thank you!
