I Have 3 Cardiac Stents At The Juncture Of My
I have 3 cardiac stents at the juncture of my LAD and D1. I was very fortunate that my heart disease was caught before I suffered an MI.. I'm keeping my cholesterol down (total cholesterol = 66) and exercising every day.
Lately I've been experiencing a feeling of near constant lightheadedness and "pressure" in my head (yes - I realize that sounds very, very weird). I also experience an occasional feeling of a head rush that accompanies an odd feeling in my chest -- possibly an abnormal rythym.
These "episodes" occur in the absence of anxiety (no cognitive, affective or behavioral symptoms of anxiety -- just a bit of annoyance that this keeps happening.
Does this sound like it may be an arrythnia?
If so, what would be the best test of this?? (Holter Monitor??)
Thank you!
Andrew
