My GF just had it the other night. I have heart problems do to high blood pressure (the reason I asked about your h/w). She asked me if she was having heart problems and like the nurse above I said no... it is PCS...

She went to a doctor and he said the same shit... If it is effected by breathing, it isn't heart related.

Now for the heart related info... Do you ever feel your pulse while sitting. Like your body is beating. Particularly after a large meal. If so, it is not normal to feel your pulse when you are resting. That is high blood pressure and it means it is VERY HIGH... That will eventually jack up your heart.

A friend of mine died at age 32 from having untreated high blood pressure for years. He weighed 410lbs but was 6'6" so he didn't look fat like someone on TV that is 5'8"... He complained about how much harder it was to lift things and how light headed he got and how his heart felt like it would beat out of his chest... But he wouldn't go to the doctor because he didn't want to know that he had heart problems... So... one day he just didn't wake up... Crazy shit.

So... this is PCS and you still need to go to the doctor...

I will assume your insurance might suck ass... #1, get Kaiser and stop sucking ass... #2, go to a clinic. They will charge you like $100 and give you some BP medicine... Then start losing weight like your life depends on it... Because it does... Eat less salt. Drink more water. Make it a point to walk to the store (a few blocks away store) for the supplies needed to make your dinner.
