CHEST PAIN, HEART PROBLEMS WITH SLEEP APNEA

Post by pain32 » Mon Nov 01, 2010 2:32 am

I've been having chest pains and feel my heart beating hard and fast when I wake up sometimes.
Does anyone know how this is related to sleep apnea? And why does sa seem to affect your heart
during the day? It seems that disease can really kill you.

pain32 -- do you realise a heart promblem can kill you?
Get thee to your PCP (that 's primary care physician) or an ER (that's Emergency Room) ASAP (that's "as soon as possible"). Don't trust an internet forum to diagnose you -- and don't use it to avoid facing the unpleasant possibility that you may be in grave danger from a heart attack. Your pain, pain32 means you need to have a doctor check you thoroughly.

Don't waste your precious time hear. When your heart is concerned "time is muscle" and time you waste is damage to your heart muscle.

Get thee to your PCP (that's primary care physician) or an ER (that's Emergency Room) ASAP (that's "as soon as possible").

i am alomost certain that my Obstructive Sleep Apnea brought on my Congestive Heart Failure and just recently my Atrial Flutter

i had the same symptoms during my sleeping and sometimes would wake up in discomfort and pain. but brushed it off as maybe its my meds, new meds or dosages of my meds, fatique and just plain old anxiety attacks.

but i went to a cardiology follow up and my pulse was 140.

GO GET CHECKED OUT NOW!!!!

i would love to know what your doctor says about if this is related to Sleep Apnea
