I have been diagnosed with Takotsubo and find the lack of information on the disease very disturbing.  Pretty much the doctor said you have Takotsubo, take these meds and go home.  After only two weeks I was released to return to work full time and I am exhausted.  My blood pressure drops really low, my heart bumps around, I have chest pain, short of breath and of course worry about what is going on.  This began with severe chest pain for which I was hospitalized and like others there seemed to be a lot of confusion as to what was wrong.  To the medical staffs surprise I had a heart attack the next day.  This pushed them into doing a heart cath and as soon as the doctor saw the left ventrical he announced Takotsubo.  I just wish some time was spent on explaining to me what I should expect to feel during this period of time, how do you know if there is something you need medical care for?
