I am not the first person to write about this here, but this is personal and I need to get some feedback.
I am 62, I had bradycardia four years ago and had a stent inserted. No problem there except that I swear that I know when it used to kick on but the cardiologist said I am not supposed. to feel it.

In April I was feeling tired after doing anything strenuous but it was odd. I felt immediately tired but not short of breath and after the initial difficulty I was fine. Last fall I was walking 2.5 miles with no exertion except in the first 100 yards or so.

I complained to my doctor and she ordered some tests. The nuclear stress test indicated something was off and I saw a cardiologist who basically said we don't know why we got these results, let's go in there and take a look. So I agreed to having a catherization and they put a pair of stents in the left anterior artery right where it branches off to another artery.

The fly in the ointment is that I was out of work from Septermber until the first of May, so I had to take off two days for the catheterization and they had me back at work on the Tuesday after Memorial Day.

At the hospital they put me on more drugs like Lipitor and Plavix and they gave me a prescription for Nitroglycerine which freaked me out to no end.

I go the cardio rehab three mornings a week. I exercise without effort for the most part. My blood pressure has never been lower, in fact I thought it was too low yesterday 100/60. My heartrate is around 65 to70 even when exercising.

I am a type II diabetic. My a1c is 6.1, When I was unemployed I walked a couple of time a week. Now I exercise at rehab and walk for 20 minutes or so at lunch as long as the heat is ok and it is not raining.

For the most part I feel just fine but I get these twinges and sometimes I just feel uncomfortable. No real pain, just a little discomfort.

Today at work I had one strong twinge on the far right side of the chest that lasted for a second or two. I came home and I just feel uneasy.

I am hypersensitive to any little thing in my chest or arms.
What can I expect? Are these twinges normal? Is mild discomfort something to worry about?

thanks to all
