> So you are saying you did experience the strange orgasms, but the chest pain was from a heart condition? I am set up to take a stress test for my heart in a week just in case, but I am only 36 so I suspect it is more of an anxiety thing.
The shortness of breath came about a year before the chest pain. Since you're only
36, it's comfortable to think that it's more an anxiety thing ; >), and I thought that it
was connected with Celexa, which can cause (?) ( who knows what to believe from
product inserts anymore; let's say 'has been associated with' ) pulmonary fibrosis, but
as my "risk factor", based on lab reports, was less than 1/3 the chance of "normal" for
having heart disease, and the lesions were old (lots of calcium breaking up when he
compressed them), the problem could have been there for twenty years, when I used
to have a Big Mac and Fries for lunch just about every day. You're probably right ; >) ,
it's just anxiety, but it was nice to avoid damage from a heart attack.
