I just did a post about this. The problems still persisted after my posts and got worse. I finally went to the ER and was sent home because they said it was stress. I didn't buy it for a second since I have much less stress now that I am retired. Called my Cardiac Dr got an appointment he also said it was stress and wanted me to have a sleep study. Even if all your numbers are well within the target range, even if you are healthy overall, even after all the tests such as stress, echo, heart monitor (twice over 2 years), a trip to the ER, and everything looks great and your Dr says let's try a sleep study and you know deep down something isn't right please take your health into your own hands and demand what test you think you need. I demanded a heart Cath and finally got a heart CAT scan which led to a cath. I had a widow maker, it took almost 2 months to get that Cath from my ER visit, sometimes the numbers don't give the whole picture. I also have a heart bridge where part of my artery goes through my heart and not over it, I still have shortness of breath and pressure and hope cardiac therapy helps. I stopped the water pills because they were doing any good.
