SCAD due to Fibromuscular Dysplasia

I am 63 and had SCAD when I was 53 and then again at 60. It was discovered I have FMD in my coronary artery, carotid arteries and renal arteries. I’m very active and I workout about 5 days a week. Sometimes, in the morning or middle of the night, I can have pain in my neck and chest. It does subside when I take some deep breaths and try and relax. I try very hard to not let this condition keep me from enjoying life. I rely on my faith in Jesus. I find some peace in knowing He is caring for me.

Hi, I’m new here and also diagnosed SCAD and FMD everywhere. I am 39y and just had my 8th baby, after 6 days I felt chest pain and went to ER they found I am having SCAD and stayed in hospital for 2 days, during the hospital time they also did brain CT and kidney CT which figure out I am having FMD also. I feel so terrible and stressful for having such rare health issues. I am not fat at all and live a very healthy life, but now it looks like I am having very severe health issues and like I can’t live a long life, I feel so frustrated and hopeless, I don’t even exactly know what is this disease mean to me? Anybody can help me? Thank you! I need more information and more examples!

I understand what you are saying about relying on Jesus, I don’t know where I’d be without him. He is the one that brought me through all of this. I have talked to my cardiologist about that same pain in my neck and sometimes it radiates down into my stomach, I think it is normal as long as it goes away. Thank you for your comment.
