                        I have been having the same symthoms as you are having.  I going to have a heart catherter done on Wednesday and I feel as though I am being silly having it done.  I tried to tell the doctor that it is just panic attacks, anxity, or stress.  She and the specialist wants to make sure that I do not have any blockage due to the symthoms and that my chlorestril is high.  My husband tells me that he believes that there is a blockage and that he wants to keep me around and grow old together.  I am really scared that something will happen to me while the doctor is performing the procedure.  I am trying not to show my fear to my husband, he is probably worring enough for the both of us.  I also found out recently that I am a dieabetic and have low thyroid.  Over all I am healthy, I hope.  Would like to hear from you.
