I was told by a doctor, I couldn't be having heart problems if I was still having my period. is this true?
it felt like someone reached their hand into my chest and squeezed the buttom of my heart. But the doctor i saw afterward told me if i was still menstruating, There couldn't be anything wrong with my heart. He made me feel really stupid for even going to a doctor. I hate going to doctors and after what he said to me I am having a hard time getting myself to go see someone else.. Is he right?
Answers:
no
I'm 45 and was on my period and had a heart attack and this is not to be taken lightly.
it can happen to Meany of us at any time.
the heart is not a respecter of anyone age or color.
be you should be seen by another doctor anyway.
like a heart doctor.
and tell him/her everything.
He's the reason they have second opinions! What a dumb@$$! You could very well have something wrong with your heart or it could be stress related like hypertension or something. Don't let him get you down. Go see a different doctor.
You need to have this checked out. Go to another Dr.
where did he get his med.degree? Se@*s?!!
Get a better doctor, that one is a nut case.
I had bad chest pain when I still had that curse and it was a bad case of gas but spent a night in intensive care because of it. Very costly gas.
No - he is wrong.
Menstrual blood loss can cause women to become anaemic.
Anaemia can place extra demands on the heart
The extra demands can cause chest pains.
However, in a fit and healthy young woman, this is very uncommon. I would return to your doctor and discuss this with him/her or perhaps see another doctor if you wish.
Your doctor is probably referring to the fact that women during their reproductive years are relatively protected from heart disease compared to men of the same age.
However, they are more at risk of anaemia!
If you are looking particularly pale, then I would consider having a blood test to check Haemoglobin level.
If you are not looking particularly pale then perhaps a blood test might not be needed.
get a second opinion-you can have heart problems at any age
