Heart palpitations
Palpitations are heartbeat sensations that feel like pounding or racing. You may simply have an unpleasant awareness of your own heartbeat. You may feel skipped or stopped beats. The heart's rhythm may be normal or abnormal. Palpitations can be felt in your chest, throat, or neck.

Transient ischemic attack (TIA)
A transient ischemic attack is a "mini-stroke" caused by temporary disturbance of blood supply to an area of the brain, resulting in a sudden, brief decrease in brain function. (It lasts less than 24 hours, usually less than one hour) .

Senile cerebral amyloid angiopathy
Senile cerebral amyloid angiopathy is characterized by deposits of protein in the walls of the arteries of the brain, which increases the risk of bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke).

Angina - stable
Angina is a or adjacent areas caused by insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle. This chest pain is relieved by rest or medication within a short period of time (usually 15 minutes). Chest pain of a longer duration or pain appearing with a lower level of effort than before, even at rest, should be considered .

Heart attack
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs when an area of heart muscle dies or is permanently damaged because of an inadequate supply of oxygen to that area.

Mitral valve prolapse
Mitral valve prolapse is a disorder in which the heart's mitral valve -- which separates the left upper chamber (atrium) from the left lower chamber (ventricle) -- billows out and does not close properly.

Arteriosclerosis of the extremities
Arteriosclerosis of the extremities is a disease of the blood vessels characterized by narrowing and that supply the legs and feet. This causes a decrease in blood flow that can injure nerves and other tissues.

Coronary artery spasm
Coronary artery spasm is a temporary, abrupt, and focal (restricted to one location) contraction of the muscles in the wall of an artery in the heart, which constricts the artery. This slows or stops blood flow through the artery during the spasm.
