Lady Rae asked:
It has been happening for the past couple of weeks, I have been under a great amount of stress. My mom has heart disease and has had numerous heart attacks, and has 3 stints in her heart. I smoke stupid ciggarettes also. Could the pains be just from stress? Does the ciggarette smoking make this more dangerous?

tennis asked:
My husband had a piece of unstable plaque break off and block an artery last year resulting in a stent implantation. His Dr. said that if my husband had a stress test the day before this happened, he would have passed the test. So, what good would it have done? Why should he continue to have these the rest of his life and have radiation put into his body and go through this dangerous test? If it is absolutely necessary, then how often should it be done?

Hammer asked:
A few days ago I was admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of a “Stress related cardiac event”…
I have recently been under much stress in my work, coupled with long work hours. I am hoping to discover the connection between stress and the illness with which I have been diagnosed, so that I may work to prevent this situation being a constant problem through out my life.

2 Happily Married Americans asked:
This morning I had a stress test and echocardiogram done, and tonight I really feel weird. Not pain, like intense chest pain, but sore and very tired. Is this normal, like working out?
