Heart disease in the 30s? :/
Hi everyone,
I have been quite active on the forum since I have had a mysterious unresolved T-cell deficiency (CD4/CD8) for two years. Today, I am having other issues (which could potentially be related). Hoping to get some suggestions.
Last week I started to have a very strange feeling in the heart, some sort of pressure, with some moment of sharper pain. I also was waking up during the night or even can't fall asleep as I have a very strange skipping beat feeling like my heart is going to stop. I thought it would go away, but 4 days after it was still there, and worst, I wasn't able to do my normal activities and started to panic. I went to the emergency cardiologist, they did a EKG, Chest Xray, Blood test for troponine and heart ultrasound, and all good. My dad's family's died at 40 from a heart attack (they were smoker) and himself had one a few months ago (at 60), without any worrying EKG or ultrasound. He had one calcified artery which was not seen as it does not release cholesterol. I am very much worried and debating if I should go to the ER again to ask for more test? Maybe CT Scan? It does not seem like they want to do that… I also had a HPV vaccine two weeks ago but it would not really make sense that this caused that. Could it be autoimmune? Could it be a sign of soon to be heart attack in smaller vessels? I am very much clueless about what to do and my parents do not believe me and think I am just scared of also doing a heart attack like him, but my symptoms are very real.
Thank you so much for your support.

I'm sorry to hear that you are still not comfortable! Does the Mobitz II block a night disturb your sleep?
Let me know how the flight goes. Will you post an update?
I did not feel it - But I feel a lot of other weird beats during the night.
