You're too young for this garbage!

Thanks for weighing in Syd, I didn't want to keep knocking on your door for my lil drama. No stress test as the pain is not replicated by exercise (although I'm sure if someone tried to make me run a mile right now I would probably stab them with a really big knife) Also the echocardiogram and CT-A showed no abnormalities.

I'm going to work on getting copies of this stuff now.
