I have been diagnosed with this diseased. Can you tell me of any type of research that you are aware of that will releave the pain and discomfort that comes with this disease?
Although the prognosis is good and you will have a long life (or it is expected), it will not be a comfortable one. You will never be the same once you are diagnosed with this diseased no matter what your doctor tells you.
Ann,
Attached is some more information on recent studies of Cardiac Syndrome X.

i have chest pain almost all the day for 3 years more pronouced after meal even small one ,the pain associated with daily headache easy fatigue easy nervous and pain long my left body side
when i to[ched my chest wall it is very tender with specific point of max tenderness , my resting ECG and stress myocardil scintography were normal
what is your D/D of my case thanks
I have atrial fib – I have a pacemaker and I’m on sotolol 160 ml taken twice daily. Also am on digoxin daily along with coumadin. When my rate suddenly gets very fast for any length of time I experience severe chest pain. Looking for the cause of the angina I had the ct scan of my heart, the stress test, echo, etc. and all were normal. I’m not sure I have Syndrome X or not but when I take a nitro (under the tongue)the pain subsides – often the pain comes back and I go through another episode but then the pace becomes (finally) normal again. Could I possibly have syndrome x?
