Getting my Echocardiogram and my 4hr Valume test done on my heart today. I'm a little worried since I have been having heart palpitations and Angina tpye pain for some time now.
Wish me luck. I just hope it doesn't take the VA three months to get my results. Kinda stinks that I have to be there at 7:30am to check in. I'm still Posts: 109 | From San Antonio,Tx | Registered: May 2008

I hope everything is o.k. Just seems like the tech spent an aweful lot of time in the upper left chamber. Which is the area I am having a LOT of pain over that area of my chest as I am typing right now.
Stress test went o.k. I could not stay on the full 7min. I had 3min. left to go but I was a little short winded and my chest was hurting a little. I think it's due to the Mycoplasma Pneumoniea myself.
My BP was good but my heartrate got high real quick. Other than that everything went o.k. Then I had to go by for my last stop. UROLOGY... I did not leave the hospital till 2:30. I was famishied.
Right now I am debating wether or not to go to ER. My chest is REALLY burning. I am finding it difficult to take deep breaths in. As well as this tighting feeling in the middle of my chest. It making me feel very panic like. One spot in particular over my left upper rib really HURTS!! I think the intercostal muscles are seriously inflamed.
Not sure if what is going on is due to the Lyme or the Mycoplasma Pnumoniea. I am thinking I might want to get a chest X-ray to be on the safe side. I just don't understand how someone can have Bronchitis and Plueresy for almost 3moths and their x-ray be NORMAL!
They said mine was last May. Yet I have Mycoplasma Pneuominea now. That's why I think I had Pnuemoniea then and NOT Bronchitis. They misdiagnosed me then too. Posts: 109 | From San Antonio,Tx | Registered: May 2008

I did. OMG!!! The burning was so INTENSE. Felt like someone poored a bunch of hot RED charcoal brickets inside my chest.
To top that off I was getting deep bone pain around my left ankle. The nurse put in an IV and drew some blood. GEE, don't bother to hang an IV with some Pitosin.
I had been going to the bathroom EVER since I came home from the hosp. I won't elaborate on that one. If you know what I mean. So, I couldn't keep fluid down. So I was dehydrated.
They did a Chest X-ray , and EKG. They were normal. Which I knew would BE. My Potasium was a little on the low side. Gave me something for that, Vicodin and a GI coctail.
I told the nurse I NEEDED an bag of IV fluid to flush the radioactive dye out and a shot of tordal for the inflamation inbetween the ribs. That is what I needed. I didn't have ACID REFLUX!
I couldn't even stay on the treadmill a full 7min. Due to chest burning and shortness of breath. Which got worse after the dye injection. I actually wound up with a red splotches on my the back of my hand. On the same arm that they put the IV with the dye in. Hmmmmm........Bart???
Also while laying in the ER last night both sides of my face felt tingly. Like your leg does when it falls asleep. Posts: 109 | From San Antonio,Tx | Registered: May 2008

Reading so many new posts by so many new posters, I am painfully reminded of all the times I went to doctors, got testing, passed out on the treadmill, seized in the ER . . . and no doctor could do anything.
However, not everything is lyme, so chest pain is important to check out.
If you get this book, it will explain so much. I wish I had had this book long ago. But the book, "Everything You Need To Know About Lyme" saved my life back in '97.

This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, might hold many answers and suggestions for you:

Thanks Keebler. I have been researching that too. See my post "Alert to all Military infected with Lyme" under the medical section.
I woke up yesterday morning with a burn looking scar on my chest. It was about the size of my thumb nail. It it brownis green in color and is white on top if you look at it in the light.
It almost looks like someone took a curling iron to my chest. It litterally looks like something burned me from the inside out. I KNOW it's bart! I sent the pic to a friend that sees a LOT of top notch docs, including Dr. B and Dr. R S. last night.
I think I am having a lot of bart die off and the toxins are very overwhelming right now. They are also trying to take up residence in the chest cavity. ...trying to recolinize there. I am just going to back off my Azithromicin for a few days right now.
I can't take the toxing build up right now. If I do, I can get some IV fluid and insert my own IV to dilute the toxins if I have to. I certainly can't trust the ER or the VA to do it. They think I have ACID REFLUX.
What part of " It feels like Battery Acid inside my chest" did they NOT here? That is NOT heartburn either!!! Posts: 109 | From San Antonio,Tx | Registered: May 2008
