Is it true that sleeping on your stomach is bad for your heart?

Heart/Chest Anxiety Pains?

  • Okay i have been having chest pains and all over pains since may. Ill try to go into as much detail for you as i can. I have rapid heartrate (not always, but atleast at one point in the day i notice them) I get chest pains that vary from what seems to be all over. Sometimes it feels directly at my heart, sometimes its off to the side, or maybe above or below. Its never normally frequent. My whole stomach hurts all the time. It often feels like im hungry, but i dont have much of an appetite anymore. I feel anxious alot. I dont poop the same. I poop alot less than i used to and not as much comes out each time. Sometimes i get this disoriented feeling. Recently my neck started hurting. Not severly but some. I feel heartburn every now and then. Sometimes i feel slightly shorted on breath from talking alot. More than i would consider normal, but nothing that i would really worry about... My back aches every now and then. My throat somewhat burns every now and then. I have sexual impotence that started when i started gettting all of this. I have trouble sleeping sometimes. I feel like im going to have a heart attack at times. Okay now im 20 years old. I know i have had a TERRIBLE diet all my life. I had hodgekins cancer while 13. If im REALLY active, or busy, i can somewhat keep it off my mind and it helps me i think. I do keep relatively active though. Being active doesnt seem to hurt me like i would think it would if it were my heart... Back in january i had chest pains and some of these other symptoms, but they went away within a few weeks. Ive had an EKG that came out clear. Ive had a Chest Xray that came out clear. Ive had a few blood tests that came out clear. I take a thyroid medicince but my levels are normal. Im getting an echocardiogram tomorrow. My doctor doesnt think its my heart but i kinda do. We kinda maybe thought anxiety but i dont think thats causing all of this... He thought to focus more on my stomach. Does anybody have any opinions? Has anybody experienced this? Please give some input. Nothing is coming up so far and im scared sick. I am a worry wort and its extremely hard to keep it off my mind. Can it possibly be my heart at 20 years old? If it isnt, then what the heck is wrong with me?

  • Answer:

    I'm confident that most (if not all) of your symptoms have nothing to do with your heart, but if you had Hodgkin disease, you probably had xray treatment to your chest. If this is the case, it may have affected your heart. We need to know what the echo shows. Email me when you have the results and we can discuss your situation.

It's always best to rule out any physical issues before moving on to other things. It's quite possible that it is anxiety. There are a lot of treatments available and the best results are gotten with a combination of medication and therapy. Usually behavior modification therapy not the lay on the couch stuff. If all your physical tests come out good; ask for a referral to a psychiatrist. They are the best ones to diagnose and issue the medications for any mental or emotional disorder. Family doctors try but they don't have the in depth schooling and training on how the brain works and all that. Get with a psychiatrist and you will get on the road to feeling better faster. I wish we had done that when my husband started having panic attacks but we didn't know any better. We spent a lot of money and a lot of time on so many medications that didn't work, had terrible side effects and it got down to the family doctor was just trying whatever. And if you don't get a good fit with your new doc after the first couple of visits, explore others. It takes some time to get the right fit and it helps tremendously! Look for someone who will look at all the different medications you take, what your medical history is and take in the whole picture, someone you can ask questions to and get answers. Good Luck!
