HI,I am 46 yro female, with ideal bp of 112/85 pulse rate of 82 general. Do I have a high risk of a heart attack? I know I have been diagnosed with costcocondritis, and I am going thru the early stages of menopause. What is my likely hood of having a heart attack? With the pre menopause, I feel anxious, lightheaded, lethargic, and sometimes it feels like my heart skips a beat which I can actually feel, if that makes sense. I was told by my primary a year ago that I am in the 30% bracket of heart disease. I just get sometimes scared, because I don t know if it is the costcocondritis, or something more severe. But I have been taking the baby aspirin twice a day since the last time I was at the e.r. and diagnosed with the costcocondritis.
