[pepperutchie]

Hi everybody, i just want to vent this symptoms that i am having, since last week after seeing my doctor, and finding out that i am having high cholesterol i am feeling very sick lately, having pressure in my head everyday, pain in my neck and back of my head with blurring of vision,and a while ago i am having chest discomfort and tightness upon excersising with feelings of indigestion.i dont know what im having if its still anxiety or not...the only thing the doctor told me is do you feel chest pain upon excerting effort? I said no he said that ussualy if a patient having diabetes they have high cholesterol and that causes hear attack or stroke, so maybe thats the reason why i am having these symptoms... Anybody have similar thing going on?

High cholesterol will give absolutely no symptoms and it may not even be a problem anyway as the thinking is now changing about cholesterol ( 80% of people who have heart attacks have low cholesterol!).
I would imagine what has happened is that you have been told your cholersterol is high and this has triggered a tsunami of anxiety symptoms and you are now putting them together and adding them up to 100 so to speakMuscle tension will give alot of chest pain as well as pain almost anywhere in your body.
