I am having either real heart problems or anxiety. I am worried about which it is.
Facts:
Severly overweight (almost 400 pounds)
38 years old
Taking medication for high bp - highest tested was about 150/95 - with medication it is usually around 130/80
Cholesterol is 111 ldl / 27 hdl
Triglycerides are 169
Very sedentary lifestyle because I am scared if i have a heart problem exercise will trigger it
Having chest pain sometimes - alot of shoulder pain. Shoulder pain occurs mostly with moving but sometimes when not but definitely gets worse with moving
had a stress test in march that came back with no problems but i fear they missed it
resting heart rate according to fitbit is 73
Long story short is that the chest/arm/shoulder pain coupled with my weight makes me worry that I do have heart problems that were missed.
Please let me know your thoughts. Should I trust my feelings or my Dr? What are the odds that chest and shoulder/arm pain at my size are unrelated to heart? I am racking up medical bills and not finding answers. Should I take this to mean it is all in my head or trust my instincts and find a new dr who will find the cause?
