I've certainly heard of it, but haven't heard of the ties between the two. It usually isn't too serious, kind of like a heart palpitation I believe.
I wouldn't sweat it that much IamSAD plenty of info on the net about it: http://www.cdc-cdh.edu/hospital/cardio/chua105.html
I dont think this would cause your SAD, but maybe it could feel like a symptom of a panic attack or something?? I dunno.

I have coronary artery disease. Had two stents put in and I'm kinda' OK now. Still a lot of fatigue though and I don't know here that's coming from.
As for Scottish_Player, do your chest pains come during times of physical activity, even just walking? Do the pains come when you are under stress? I ask because those _may_ be the signs of angina caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). I don't mean to be alarmist and your doctor may be absolutely right. But you can't detect CAD with a stethoscope and I'm puzzled as to why your doctor does not do more thorough testing. An outpatient stress test, angiogram and/or echocardiogram seem called for. "Don't worry" about chest pain?????

Hi koyaanisqatsi the doctor asked me if there is any heart disease in the family, i said yeh my dad has angina she said that not to worry as it wont be that either as iam too young for that (23)
The pain comes as and when it pleases, it just happens, i can be sitting doing nothing or i can be active and i must stop for around 3 to 5 mins till its passes. Ive had it since i was about 15 as i had it it school aswell it has gotten less over time but still happens atleast once a week :roll:
She actualy made me feel quite stupid, it was my first time to the doctor in around 12 years when i went so its not as if iam a hypocondriact*
A man goes too the doctor and rushes into his office and says DOCTOR DOCTOR i think iam shrinking the doctor replies calm down sir you'll just have to be a little patient :lol:

Hi Scottish_Player,
I agree that 23 yo is early for CAD, but it can happen. Note that CAD-related angina can also come on without any activity. But other signs of CAD or an impending heart attack are fatigue, a sense that you are dying ( hard to believe but see the "Merck Manual" ), shortness of breath.
My angina got so bad that I couldn't walk 50 metres at a very slow pace w/o it occuring. I finally saw a doctor. 99% blockage in one artery and 94+% in another. I knew before the testing ( angiogram, stress test, and echocardiogram ) that I had CAD, and long before the angina set in, I had a strong feeling that I was dying.
Well, I still think your doctor dismissed your angina or chest pain all too casually. Can your doctor tell you what it is that is causing the pain? I'd want to know what it _is_ more than what it _isn't_! I think I'd insist on a diagnosis.
