So I went to the angina support group but it doesn't look very active.
I've been experiencing chest pains and pressure and a wheezing feeling along with a pain or burning sensation down my left arm. Saw my Dr yesterday and he's thinking based on what I'm describing I could be having mild angina. I'm only 34. I weigh 300lbs and am a fairly heavy drinker as well....no hard liquor just beer nearly every night of the week.
I'm super scared, I know I'm not healthy, maybe this is my wake up call. I'm getting blood work done, and ECG and he's ordering a treadmill test and in the meantime I'm taking low dose aspirin.
Has anyone else been here? I know this can happen regardless of weight but I just am young and scared and want to know I'm not alone

I'm horrified! I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000. I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter. I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change. Now this! I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000. I guess I have to pay...

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
Yes your very young. I would start trying to change your diet not sure what you eat. But less sweets, greasy foods more fresh stuff. My ex mom had heat attack like early 50 which is very young. Scary.
Take care.
Let us know how the tests turn out.
