In 2018 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. But they said they couldn't operate because of my electrocardiogram. I was then put through a chemical induced stress test. I was told I would have to get stints before cancer removal surgery. But they did a CT with meds that made my heart 40 beats a minute. And no arteriosclerosis. I was diagnosed Cardiac Syndrome X. If I do stuff I have all the heart attack feeling. Chest pain, pain in my left shoulder, jaw and down my arm. It is now 2024. I'm not being treated. I keep getting lots of heart flutter feelings and a big increase in the heart attack feeling. I got a $42 watch for Christmas. And if I am out in my yard and doing stuff, my watch keeps sending warning that my heart is 152 or more. I need a Cardiologist to take this serious and find a doctor in Arizona who will. Not just marked off as something not to worry about.
