I now have all my test results from the cardiologist and my heart is very healthy with the mitral valve prolapse still minor. My cholesterol is a bit high and after some diet and exercise he will check it again in January. He attributes my recent panic attacks to overwhelming stress. The most ironic thing is that as soon as I starting taking these tests, the panic attacks stopped completely. Like other sufferers of this disorder, I should be happy; however, it is so disturbing to never have a "magic cure" for this. As long as it is manageable I am telling myself to count my blessings as there are a lot worse things out there. So this time it would seem my aches and pains were stress related, but I would always recommend seeing a doctor to get checked out and put on the right path such as being referred to a psychiatrist. This does not mean you are "crazy". I am seeing my psychiatrist next month for our usual visit. I want to thank those who responded and hope others may have been helped from reading about my issues.
