I have severe sleep apnea too. Went to the cardiologist and wore the monitor. I have pvc's and a mild prolapsed valve. My Cardio said not to worry about the prolapsed value because it is so mild. Can't remember what was said about the pvc's. Anxiety is what causes me to have chest pain etc.. I felt better after going thru with the tests and stuff. I had a nuclear stress test, the technician put an iv in my arm and i had to walk on the treadmill and then have a cat scan of my heart. It was not painful just scary for me because of the iv in my arm. Two other procedures where done but can't remeber the names nothing is painful. And, again I felt relieved to know my problem is strss and anxiety. My braces are causing more pain than anything else so far. They aggravate my tmj problem and cause pain on the left side of my face. Think about how much better you will feel after your MMA. Ask westernjoe and the capt. questions they know alot. silvergirl
