terliuke asked:


I am having some chest pain and get dizzy, so I am going to see a cardiologist. But I wonder whether it is possible to get a heart attack in such a age. I am female.
I am not be in the best shape but I am not overweight. I was told by a practitioner a few years ago that I might have a minor heart condition but I never got around seeing a cardiologist thinking it’s just minor.

I think it’s very likely that I am having this due to the contraceptive patch Ortho Evra that I have been wearing. I did some research and found that it’s been increasingly causing blood clot, heart issues and other for women. Does anyone have experience with Ortho Evra?

   Highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened. If you suspect that there is even a remote POSSIBILITY that you are having a heart attack, you need to get off the computer, and call 911.

   I’m afraid it is sweetheart, but it’s probably either stress or anxiety. Good Luck on your appointment!!!!

   Very unlikely and it could be anxiety or panic attack, but better be safe than sorry.

   That patch may be the cause, so until your cardiologist is the best judge.
   Dizzy spells have been noted in patients with patch, due to release of hormones in the blood, these symptoms disappear once the patch is removed.
   I think you will not have much of a problem, so relax, OK.
