- Reyna Robles was certain something was wrong with her heart. A cramp-like pain in her chest kept recurring, but her EKG came back normal. It wasn't until she was seen at Stanford's Women's Heart Health Clinic that the problem was identified correctly.

The older i get the more i believe i need female doctors. So glad she is much better
This is Reyna, Thank you all for your kind comments. It has been a long while since I was on this page. Raising awareness about Women's Heart Health issues is important & necessary. It's the #1 killer of women. I shared my story to give hope to people. Before surgery, I had debilitating 24/7 chest pain. Walking short distances was a struggle , I also experienced chest pain at rest and I got to the point where I couldn't sleep. When I would finally sleep, I would be propped up in a pillow and the chest pains were so constant & severe that I often wondered if I'd wake up the next day. No exaggeration! Prior to this I was healthy, active and very busy with my family and career. Surgery saved my life. Dr. Tremmel is the best cardiologist! Her care was golden. I am also most grateful for my surgeon, Dr. Michael Fischbein. Stanford was the best medical facility I could have gone to.
Hi i was wondering which tests you had done and which one showed you had a heart issue?Ive been dealing with chest pain that comes and goes and arm pain the last couple dys an echocardiogram,chest xray,ekg,heart monitor were all normal except for a blood test that showed some high bad cholesterol.
Reyna it is wonderful to hear and see that you took the extra steps to make this video in hopes of educating others. You are awesome!!!!
This video gives me hope ❤️
Hi Reyna. This video is very inspiring and helpful for those who might be going through the same and to know there is hope out there. I'm a 38 year old woman in Maryland and I started having chest pain about 2 weeks ago. It was pretty bad in the first week and I went to the ER twice as I thought it was the worst. They did all the tests - EKG, blood, urine, CT scan; and nothing showed up. I asked the doctors several questions trying to figure out why I'm having it or the cause of it but I didn't get satisfactory answers. I'm still having pain, and it sort of starts up every time I do any more than average physical activity. It's a tightness, discomfort and burning sensation in the middle of the chest. It goes away after I slow down and/or rest a bit. I wanted to ask how long after your symptoms started did you met Dr. Tremmel. Also I was curious what are the tests that they performed that led Dr. Tremmel to detect the problem. Thank you so much for the video and I would really be happy to hear back from you.
ct scan will show your bridge
awsome and inspirational one. Thanks for sharing your experience... Am from Chennai, India, 50 years , I have a MB on LAD (Left Anterior Descening ) artery . I did lots of weight lifting I never posed any problem , especially, last 2 years I was having lots of confusions since my resting ECG , ECHO and Stress test e verything was normal, I was continue doing weight exercise, last year it was a nightmare and then dr's did angio they found MB .. .. Now I discontinued the exercises but occasionally am getting little bit discomfort. Mine is little bit of muscle bridge but the report did not show the size of the MB
dr said no matter whether its small oor big problem is problem .. Will update you after my IVUS is done
BTW howz your health now... are you able to carry weights and all.

I was diagnosed wtih MB in Standford by Dr. Dennis Lee. Nowaday, I am having a constant presssure especially right beneath the left collar bone and some time near the sternum area. I also have develop a light headache on the back of my left brain. Sometime, tingling sensation near the cheek area. Just wonder if you have seen some of these symptoms.
Thanks

Hello Reyna,
You said in your video that your episodes are "mostly gone." Are you still having pain?
I'm contemplating a "procedure" but it I'm having second thoughts.
What kind of lifestyle changes did you undergo prior to deciding on surgery. So far, my doctor has only offered surgery as an option. He wants to either cut the muscle or cut the artery and lay the artery on top of the muscle.
What did your doctor do?
+S S - I just read your message. My surgeon cut the muscle. How are you doing?
This is happening to me my results come back clear but I'm struggling, squeezing pressure of my chest the pain is awful it spreads to my jaw and down to my arm feels like my doctors don't take it seriously. I don't know what to do it's ruining my life.
Cressida Braithwaite are u ok?
Have you gotten better?
How are you doing ?
How long was it until you saw the cardiologist? Im dealing with this same thing
are u good ?
