Evenin' iainm,

Let's look at this logically. 3 ECG/EKGs, all clear. Blood work, all clear. Still pretty young at 35. All good so far...

Smoker, first round of exercise in a long time = out of breath and chest tightness/pain. Add bad HA and depression and what do you get?

"think i have heart disease" ;)

I've had two heart attacks, bypass surgery and most recently stents... I'm not a doctor but I'd say you're just really out of shape and you did a little too much the first time. You have to start slow and build up your endurance. Most of all QUIT SMOKING. Knowing what smoking can and will do to you, why on earth would you smoke with bad HA?

Anyway... hope that makes sense. Take it easy ya hear?
