Bottom line: If you have jaw pain, it's either your teeth or your heart. He said a lot of it is due to heredity but what you were doing was extremely instrumental in saving you from a possible catastrophic heart attack. His answer was: If you had not been working out and doing the exercise etc., we probably would not be in this room talking together. 5 times per week, tennis 2 times per week and weight lifting 3 times per week. SOooooo.to make a long story short, I was really pissed and told the Cardiologist: "Well that's my reward after all these years of exercising, no fat, 20 Percent Body Fat, 120/80 B.P., 63 pulse, workouts 1hr 30 min. I've exercised religiously for 30 years after my brother died and watched my weight and diet. It's hereditary and I had a brother who died at 38 yrs. On Plavix medication and an 81 mg aspirin per day. They immediately prep'ed me for a Stint which I just got yesterday. The results of the Cath test showed that I had 90-95 percent blockage in my left Coronary artery. She recommended that I get a 'Cath job' done and set up the whole process for the following Tuesday morning. I was told that she did not like the readings that were being given off and the jaw pain worried her. Nothing showed until I went in for a briefing of my monitor results. I previously had a Nuclear EKG and a bunch of other Chemical Alli tests done on me. UPDATE: I went to see my cardiologist this past Monday after wearing a monitor for a few weeks. I'm lost and don't know what it is that's causing these episodes. Also, early in the morning when I'm still in bed, I get a little jaw or lower teeth pain and then after I get up, everything goes back to normal. I am now wearing a heart monitor and sending PDS readings over the phone for almost 4 weeks now and nothing has come back to me from them stating that I should call my doctor. I've been to a cardiologist and had a nuclear stress test and all the other tests except a heart cath, but they have come up with nothing so far. I also play tennis twice a week and experience the same thing for the first 5 minutes and then I can play 2 hours without any trace of irregularity etc. I then do some weight training which is uneventful and go home. I can boost the level up several times near the 40 minute mark and never get another episode or jaw pain throughout the 45 minute workout. My pulse is hard to track on the machine and it starts out at 156 and then lowers to 107 to 111 for the next 25 minutes and then goes to no more than 120 for the remaining 20 minutes at level 11 on the trainer. This will last about 5 minutes or so and then diminish. It starts with a rapid pulse and then a feeling of an irregular beat in the hollow of my neck then accompanied by jaw pain. I have been exercising 5 times per day for 25 years and just recently have had episodes of arrhythmia followed by jaw pain when I first start to use the elliptical trainer at the athletic club.
