West Yorkshire, England, a woman suffered a rare and mysterious disease that made him feel the pain like a heart attack. This disorder has he experienced 14 years old and the doctors are still not sure what causes it.

At the age of 42 years, Dorothy Asquith sudden onset of chest pain that hurts. Because of suspected heart attack, he was rushed to the hospital. Surprisingly, the test results indicate that the normal arteries and no blockage.

The pain persists over the next 14 years and the doctors still fail to find what is wrong. Prescription pain medications can not resolve a complaint Asquith that his quality of life will decrease dramatically. In fact he had separated from her husband for a while.

"Chest pain is going to last for 2 or 3 weeks and then disappear for a month or so," said Dorothy Asquith as reported by the Daily Mail, Wednesday (14/11/2012)

The doctor finally called Asquith's illness as the cardiac syndrome X. The condition is rare and poorly understood pain this causes like heart attack. An estimated 12,000 people having this disorder.

If heart disease is generally caused by a blockage of blood vessels, the cardiac syndrome X has no obvious cause. Some patients who claim to have similar complaints were informed that this disorder is actually psychic.

But researchers believe that the disorder is real and begin to figure out the cause. A recent study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) found that a third of patients in cardiac syndrome X, the small blood vessels do not open properly so disrupts the blood supply.

The researchers theorized that because the flow of oxygen is lost, the pain comes the heart. Due to the small blood vessels only visible on MRI machines, this disorder often escape inspection by conventional methods such as ultrasound and angiogram.

Another theory is a condition caused by the loss of estrogen. Asquith really had to undergo a hysterectomy this year before symptoms appear strangely. Similar symptoms experienced by many women during menopause some.

This condition is expected to appear nine times more in women than in men. Fortunately this condition is not considered life-threatening and does not increase the risk of heart attack.
