I’d never even heard of Takotsubo or ‘broken heart syndrome’ until I went to Mayo Clinic. http://mayoclinic.com/health/broken-heart-syndrome/DS01135

I hope you are feeling much better now!
cheers,
C.

I checked myself into an ER about 2 years ago w/chest pain. The pain across my back was excruciating and there was some heaviness in my chest. My cardiac enzymes were elevated, my EKG was so weird the ER doc called 5 cardiologists. I was hypotensive, tachycardic and could feel the fluids filling up in my lungs.

I was flown to Albuequerque, NM where they did a heart cath and diagnosed w/Tako Tsubos. It’s a stress related cardiomyopathy. There’s a very informative website @ http://www.takotsubo.com. This is a rare condition, caused by stress. I’m 56 now, have been a registered nurse for 14 years.

Keep up the informative work w/your website.
