Heart Problem?
Hi,
I'm a 35 year old male. I've been experiencing dizziness, some palpitations, back pain, and a regular pain that comes to me every day under my left shoulder blade nearer to the left ribs and also in the middle of my back. This started around 4 months ago - I tried to ignore it putting it down to bad posture (I work on a computer most of the time). Well one day with this pain I stated getting very dizzy/unsteady and saw the Doc. He seemed to think it was stress - but to be sure did an EKG and blood test. All came out normal except my cholesterol was borderline. He asked me to take care of my diet because of my heritage (both father and brother have had a heart bypass). I made diet changes and took up regular exercise. I came back to the Docs (after two months) as I was getting palpitations and the pains- he put me onto Propranolol (beat blocker) which seemed to help a little but the pain never went. I find the pain eases around 4pm and not noticeable in the evenings. By morining it's there like clockwork. I do also get slightly breathless. I do regular exercise now and do not usually get any pains whilst doing them. My doctors baffled - but I really do feel down at times - especially with this constant pain and not having a diagnosis. What could this be? I appreciate all your responses.
