I am 31 and weigh in at 283 currently. I'm down 12 lbs! Anyway,
I had a small chest pain while walking on the treadmill the other day and so I had my husband take me to the emergency room. They did an EKG and Chest X-Ray and both were fine. They told me it was probably just chest wall pain and to follow up with my primary physician. I had a smaller pain in my chest 2 days later but in the same area (under my left breast). My Primary did blood tests for cholesterol and diabetes and those came back normal. She scheduled a Cardiac Stress Test since both incidents happened during activity.
I am now terrified to workout at all. My stress test isn't for another week and a half and I can't describe the feeling of fear I have every minute of every day right now. My dad died during his 2nd heart attack and I am terrified.
I am also living with extreme guilt everyday for putting myself in this situation. I feel like now that I am finally serious about living a healthier lifestyle and losing weight that I'm being punished for living so unhealthy for so many years.
This is long and kind of rambling but I could really use some support.
