To entirely ignore these symptoms hoping they will go away by themselves would be most unwise to positively dangerous.

Your endocrinologist would probably also be looking to your adrenal glands (specifically the inner layer or medulla) for a possible reason, and test the circulating levels of both adrenaline and noradrenaline under varying levels of stress.

They seem to have already ruled out an over functioning thyroid gland, and unless your heart become over enlarged as a result of too intensive physical training, I really do not think that it will turn out to be the main culprit (if at all) in the end.

Other than that, we will leave it to the medicos to sort this puzzle out?

i know..

hmm, so far my doctor didnt mention anything about adrenal glands but you have a good point there

also, not sure how significant it is coming from a chest xray, it says in the result that there's no cardiomegaly present.
oh, i feel like i've said a lot about my condition but i failed to mention other than tachycardia..i visited the doctor coz i was getting paranoid if i was having angina or even a heart attack. my right arm was getting numb that time.
im afraid if my heart's not the problem i would go to a gastroenterologist..i also have heart burns and quite hyperacidic. argh. no softdrinks. no coffee

now i understand my grandma (NIDDM) when she still eats what she should avoid or minimize eating..its hard!

hehe.
thanks for the comfort and opinions EOT!

I believe that it is generally an intense pain experienced down the left arm, rather than the right (having not actually had a coronary attack myself).

On one upsetting occasion while I was still a school teacher, which eventually turned out to be the result of a severe anxiety attack, I felt the pain I just described and wondered if my time was up.

Here I am almost 25 years later still with a healthy heart. At least something is working OK!!!

Anxiety can often mimic a huge range of other more serious medical conditions, including unexplained gastric reflux which causes that terrible burning sensation that the layperson calls "heart burn". But it does still warrant investigating!

I personally suffer with this myself, if I eat meat or drink different sorts of bottled spring water.

Please excuse the language, but it can be a real bummer to have to think carefully about everything you wish to eat or drink every day of your life.

Take care,

i/we cant self-diagnose..i guess not always. have to always consult the experts to know what's up with our body. i am afraid i'm becoming a hypochondriac
