yeah, not a lot of people really cared what Kenneth Lay went through. He was part of a group that scammed many people. When you do a crime, there is a good chance you will get caught eventually and face humiliation!

I am on antidepressant, lamictal for acute anxiey and it just never seems to stop. I take klonopin when it is really bad. Sometimes it feels like my heart is not functioning properly. Could this be?

I think people should isten to what the doctor is trying to say. It has little to do with the head of Enron but how stress and depression can and will cause a massive coronary. I had a MI(heart attack) on 1-19-06 and had 5 stints placed. 3 months later my brother died at 44 years old with no warning symptoms of the same thing. He had just had a full cardiac work up and was given the all clear. The only thing we can think of is yes we had family history of this but he died of a broken heart. He was having business and marital problems. So, we should learn to take care of our stress and depression before it sneaks ups and kills us.

I wonder if having an untreated anxiety disorder would lead one to having a heart attack.

I'd like to know what you do when all you get from doctors is here take this pill and it's just stress or anxiety. You know your body, even when they find something abnormal, they seem to be able to dismiss it, yet I'm suffering and still very ill. I'm tired of everything being blamed on stress and doctors to easy to just give you a antidepressant and dismiss or want to lump everything. Sometimes it is multiple things wrong with you. Now I do believe stress can kill you, on the other hand the doctors don't help because they make you feel like it's in your head or they can't help you other than take a pill, now that causes severe stress and depression don't you think. It's a catch 22. I believe you can die of a broken heart and I think doctors need to go back to the beginning of med school and not have the attitude well the blood test looks alright; well if you don't look for the right thing or have the right tests (even then they can be deceiving and wrong), and if it's not staring them in the face then they dismiss. Instead of looking for that Zebra, they only look for the horses. I'm 37 years old and I think I don't have too much time left here; I pray some doctor will finally figure it out and I won't be dead yet. I do have anxiety and PTSD, but I have something else going on. If the medicine to treat anxiety and other things does not work (trying many), than one with common sense would say if it's that this should work, well it's not. Try watching Mystery Diagnosis or Diagnosis Unknown on the Discovery Health Channel, that will certainly scare you to death on how so wrong doctors are and how people suffer 5, ten, etc years until finally a doctor comes along and uses his brain and becomes the doctor he should be. How about having cancer for 5 years and CAT scans not show it, blood work comes back ok, not ok, ok, and they dismiss you and then finally after being on the brink of insanity and suffering, a doctor goes in and finds it. Why didn't it show up on the imaging or why didn't the blood test show something. My point is, even in modern science today, nothing is full proof or perfect. Just because blood tests come back normal or scans, MRI's, etc are normal to them, all along you are sick and it isn't in your head.

To #4's comment. I feel like I'm going to drop dead and I'm scared to death because the doctors do not listen. I look like I've got Aids, or cancer, or anorexia nervosa, WHICH I DON'T; I can't eat, my body locks up and the pain is so bad in certain places; not to mention all the other gastro stuff going on and the medicines don't work. I have abnormal blood tests, then normal ones, they dismiss them. I feel like I'm slowly dying and I'm afraid everyday that it will be my last. I know about numbness, chest pain, small palsy's, edema, pain, blowing up one minute, anorexic the next, no appetite, etc. Anyone will become depressed after awhile, don't you think? Thank you for posting your comment, it just enforces what I've thought all along.

I've had that off and on from teens....... it recently has returned, but I'm extremely upset abt. a lot of things that have happened quickly. I figured out I often forget to breathe is a trigger. Practicing deep breathing helps, but I usually forget until I'm scared.

Too vague. Not enough explanation why stress would cause a heart attack on a physical level. Would it cause coronary spasm for instance? And would the person have to have severe coronary artery disease in the first place?

I found that most of the problems with stress I've had has to do with my job. I'm in the proces of changing careers, to something I can physically do. And stress can cause your heart to do weird things. It's scared me more often than I'm willing to admit.
