Horrible chest pains.

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry I'm posting this without regularly participating in the group. I

feel as though I'm just using this group for selfish reasons I do want

preface this email by saying that I have been reading all the threads and

wish/pray y'all are better; I just never know what to say when I read the,/

Anyways. One of the medications I've been on is Zyprexa. It's a med for

treating my severe bipolar disorder (coincidentally it's for schizophrenia

as well but I'm never had full blown Schizo problems). The biggest thing it

does, which is a secondary part I'm on it, is so that I can gain weight. So

far it's been working wonderfully. I went from 130lbs to 150lbs through the

course of half a year (I'm 6' tall and was usually 120lbs-130lbs). And I

plan on doing low and relaxed physical therapy and working on low impact

workouts in the gym.

But I got my blood tests back and my Cholesterol is at 208. Triglycerides

are at 234, andLDL is slightly elevated to 111. And I'm only 20 D=

I don't know what the last two are but they can't be good.

For the past month now I'm been experiencing weird and painful pains on my

left side for the past 2-3 months; especially if I do a lot that day. I'm

almost afraid to go see a Doctor. Half of it is him saying it's something

bad and the other half is him saying nothing is wrong with me (this

especially makes me feel like just a whiny liar to get attention =\)

Do y'all think I should bring it up or go the hospital and get an EKG test?

I start to worry when I'm trying to sleep and *bam* the chest hurts really

badly.

Thanks everyone. Other than this I've been doing wonderfully at school. I'm

currently holding an A in Computer Science although with the last assignment

it'll drop to a B :s and in Psych I'm holding on to a B+ and I feel ready

for Friday's exam so I think I'll get to an A- and the lease. I'm so used to

giving C's and D's form highschool and Freshman year at college.This is new

territory for me; studying and not just cramming right before an exam, lol.

Sorry if I'm rambling some tramadol and some xanax so I'm feeling a bit

loopy, lol.
