Hello everyone, I am a 41 year old female. I have a 8 week old baby and a 3 year old toddler. I’ve been stressing so much recently and I have no village to help. It’s been pretty rough. I recently checked myself at the ER because I felt like my heart was being squeezed! My jaw and gums felt sore I just felt very unusual. EKG was abnormal and my blood work indicated that I might have had a NSTEMI. But They did further testing, angiogram, ultrasound and ct scan with ink and everything looked good, no blockage to my heart. They diagnosed me with Coronary Artery Spasm due to stress and most likely a postpartum thing? They sent me home with blood pressure meds (beta blockers and calcium channel blockers)

It’s been a week and I can’t tell if I’m having anxiety. But every little twitch I feel in my heart scares me. My shoulders feel heavy/sore. My arm starts to feel tingly. Thankfully no heart pressure or anything like that but can’t help but to think that the meds aren’t helping and I’m gonna have another spasm 😔

Can anyone relate?
