Anxiety?

I’ve had this happen before. Worried about a heart attack so I started doing jumping jacks and running in place to get my heart rate up. Basically told myself if my heart starts racing from exercise and I don’t drop dead, then there’s nothing wrong. Always felt better oxygen saturation just better in general after doing this srs.

I just walked 6 miles and I'm 200lbs now at 5'6

Sweated buckets but it made me realize I'm still pretty fit I wasn't that out of my breath. Most of it was uphill

Ya, it does get scary. Sometimes the symptoms of angina's & panic attack, heart attack overlap with each other.

Have had that several times last year and even one time at night where my vision was getting blurry to the point of passing out.

Take one of the miscer's advice, get on beet root powder and clean up diet if you haven't already.

Buy a pulse oximeter and check blood oxygen. Maybe Brovid's got you

do a couple of shots of alcohol and if you feel better then you know it's anxiety. You're better off taking something that thins your blood than exercising if you do actually have a cardiac issue

It's all about increasing nitric oxide take beetroot extract, L-arginine and L-citrulline and believe it or not spices like nutmeg cardamon ginger etc it goes in my morning coffee and has an aphrodisiac effect SRS

True if u have actual cardiac problems keep ur blood THIN take aspirin raw garlic etc daily.

And of course alcohol.

Are you still on a cut? (I remember seeing you post about a cut not long ago)

Have you changed your supplements, especially PWOs, fat burners, stims etc?

When it feels difficult to breathe, take your pulse.

Interesting on those spices, didn't know that. Will be adding that to the stack.

Garlic I took before because it was mentioned that it was great as an anti inflammatory. Came off awhile ago and forgot about it.

After having a family member die of a cardiac arrest, it really starts to kick you in the ass as you get older to tighten up the diet.

OP get yourself a heart rate monitor as mentioned here. I got a fitness watch for that very purpose. One that tracks the heart rate, blood oxygen and blood pressure.

Diet isn't as big an issue with that as you may think.

Heart attack = plumbing
Cardiac arrest = electrical

Diet affects the plumbing more than it does the electrical.

Cleaning up your diet is never a bad thing and helping the plumbing stay unclogged is always helpful, but it doesn't help prevent cardiac arrest to anywhere near the same extent it helps prevent heart attacks.

Hereditary factors play a much bigger role than diet in people who have heart attacks under 60. Same with people who get liver failure at 35 while others drink the same amount and are perfectly fine.

Like you say though, cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. Im guess Luigi may be conflating the two and his family member had a heart attack….which leads to cardiac arrest.

Oh for sure. It is just after their passing, it has been a year of feeling what could be symptoms of a heart attack, or Acid reflux or a panic attack. I don't know whether or not I have had a small stroke, but still scares the hell out of you when it is something you have never felt before.

Only history my family has is high blood pressure, but that was about it. It has been occurring more frequently as time goes on.

I am hoping OP doesn't have that same issue.

If I never feel you in my arms again (Again)
If I never feel your tender kiss again (Again)
If I never hear "I love you" now and then (And then)
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends
Then I promise you, I promise you that
That I shall never breathe again (Breathe again, breathe again)
That I shall never breathe again (Breathe again)

Most heart issues in younger people are electrical (arrests, not attacks) and often hereditary. If you see the athletes dropping dead in their teens, 20s and 30s, it is almost always cardiac arrest, as opposed to a heart attack.

A heart attack is when the blood supply gets fully or partially blocked, but the muscle keeps beating anyway, without oxygen, and starts to die.

On the electrical side you have
First degree heart block = PR over 200 (signals are delayed getting through)
Second degree heart block = some signals don't make it through at all
Third degree heart block = no signals make it through
Cardiac arrest = the whole thing stopped completely

School age kids have 2nd and nobody notices until they pass out. School age kids aren't running around with narrow or blocked arteries. This is why you see kids and young adults with pacemakers (I had one at 25), but you don't see them having heart attacks.

based on age, it is anxiety. Anxiety is a bitch and can really fuk with you. You just dont have symptoms for a year and have nothing come of it especially when you are young if you actually have cardiac issues. In order to actually be having cardiac issues you need structural defects in your heart, which can be ruled out with an echo, or clogged arteries which can be assessed with a cardiac CT. Your doctor will do the first because it is cheap and easy, but if you are under 40 with no obvious risk factors and a normal EKG, he will hold off on the cardiac CT. I would recommend getting checked out for your peace of mind. Once you get a clean bill of health, it will be easier to deal with the actual cause, which is probably anxiety.

Yup. Undiagnosed structural heart defects are the issue for young people. Luigi if he is worried, should get an echo. Unlikely he has CAD at his age (assuming he is under 40) unless he has a family history of HA from a first or second degree relatives at a young age.

Did this start after you ate something OP , or did you start on some new pills?
The reason I ask is I became allergic to most fruit practically over night .Never had an issue with apples , and then one day at work I was eating one and I almost dieded.
Also have issues sometimes with my medication , and I’ll have difficulties breathing after I take it

What the hell, never heard that before. I googled it and seen that symptoms are similar to anxiety, acid reflux, angina, etc.

I am 35. I had gotten blood work and other blood flow tests done that same day I was having a "Panic attack or mini Heart attack." Everything came back normal.

If everything came back normal you were having a panic attack, not a "mini" heart attack. But keep in mind that in the emergency room they're not doing an extensive cardiac work up. They will give you an EKG and do a troponin test which looks for signs of a heart attack because your heart releases troponin when heart muscle dies. If those came back normal it wasn't a heart attack.

All they're trying to do is make sure you're not dying so they can release you. If you are worried go see a cardiologist and have an echo done. The knowledge is out there you just need to pursue it so you can put your mind at ease

Born 7-8 weeks premature.
Arrhythmia spotted at birth, but not serious at that time.
Started to show symptoms at 20.
