Yes I have had problems similar to yours. I can run a good 4 miles without feeling faint, but every now and again, I get a sharp and sudden stab across my chest, that startles me very much. I am not sure exactly what it is. I would believe it is related to perhaps one time cardiac arrithymia. My electrocardiogram also showed no problems. Since I have started taking omega 3, I have noticed this happens much less often.
I am pretty sure it is not related to clogged arteries or anything, I think perhaps stress can somtimes throw the electrolite ballence off a bit.
Some studies show that (in addition to aiding depression, omega 3 supplements can reduce the insidence of sudden cardiac death by 50%)
I had lots of problems with my heart on effexor, it did rais my BP, and my pulse. If you are to try effexor, just monitor these thats all.Good Luck.
