Hey Tos,

I'm really glad you asked about this because I have exactly the same issues. I'm 40 and I do have high cholesterol that is unrelated to CRPS. However, my pulse just jacks up every once in a while and i don't know why. Every time I see my GP, it's over 90 or 100 resting. Blood pressure is fine or even low, but pulse gets high. When I have bad CRPS flare ups, sometimes I get pressure in my chest - feels like someone is either stepping on my sternum or squeezing my heart. It scares me and frequency of this happening has gone up recently (I've had CRPS since 1996, but this is new). I'm worried that I could have a pain induced heart attack. Since sensory functions in my left arm are so f-ed up, I'm worried that I won't feel angina to stop it early. My dad had a heart attack at 47, and he didn't have CRPS. Worried.....
