Agreed! NO stupid gel coat is worth getting hurt. So what if you scratch it up. It;s a frigging fishin boat. Make it look used.

Thanks for all the responses! While I was in the hospital they did do the Nuclear Medicine treatment on me and took a bunch of pictures of my heart, lungs and the roadways. They also put me on the treadmill for a stress test. After level 2 (there are 4 levels) they told me to get off because my heart was not going fast enough for the test so they gave me a shot to speed up my heart I guess. All I know is it felt like all the doctors were standing on my chest for the 4 minutes of the test. All of my tests came back normal and all of my blood work came back normal except my colhorestol which is high. I am fine at rest, I washed my Harley yesterday and started have chest pain and breathing problems, I get excited and start having problems. Hopefully the doctors can figure this out. I agree with everyone I do not believe diving had anything to do with this. I have strained or tore something but you would think it would show up in the blood work!

Oh yes I forgot I already made me a couple of hook and loop set-ups so I can take my gear off in the water and tie it off to the boat. That when I use the bass boat for diving again! Jim that gel-coat is awful pretty! LOL
I know it is but dang man! Along with the hook and loop system maybe a couple pieces of old carpet that you could drape over the finish that would also likely make it easier to haul the gear up on seem to be in order.
Well, if you had a normal perfusion test while you were symptomatic, that lowers the likelihood of obstructive coronary artery disease as a source of your symptoms quite a bit.
There are still other significant possibilities.
Blood tests won't pick up strained muscles or ribs that are out of place, and certainly, those things can cause similar symptoms. A visit to a chiropractor might be useful, if you know a good one.
I'm still not happy with exertional chest pain and dyspnea which hasn't been fully diagnosed.

Pump, pipes, wiring. They've all got to be working.
? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but infusion of cardio-stimulants might done for patients who aren't hitting their predicted HR marks. I expect this may be fine if it's safe and there are known or suspected reasons for falling short. But otherwise, shouldn't the intervention be explained?

As an imaging expert it was good to see you get the Cardiac SPECT scan and stress test. I assume they also looked for "electrical " abnormalities of the heart. However there are many other issues that this could be whereby a CT scan would be the image of choice. Did they do one? If not you should ask. Shortness of breath, pain, are not symptoms to ignore young or old.
Don't think its connected to the diving.

If the problem hasn't resolved yet and if not already suggested to you, it may be worthwhile to keep notes as the events occur: Information such as time of day, duration, physical activity, emotional state, prior meal, any coincidental symptoms especially gastric or abdominal. Also, a bit of family research might possibly prove to be helpful: Any similar or noteworthy cardiac events in the genetic family line; any history of neurologic irregularities (e.g. fainting easily, severe dizziness or fatigue or headaches, visual disturbances such as tunnel vision, seizures).

Where has this guy gone? Maybe in hospital? Would be best thing.
There are many things ( I can think of at least 50) which would cause chest pain and shortness of breath. Rule out hte heart and you still have a lot. He said he worked on motorcycle when this happened, could be solvent induced.
Could be a hernia, such as hiatal hernia. or samll cell lung cancer. but seems like these symptoms would persist as opposed to come and go. Need more symptoms and history as cutlass suggests and would like CT scan.
Hopefully the guys alright. Just lost an employee one month ago with same symptoms and he didnt seek a diagnosis/treatment (aortic dissection).

Yeah, dissection is one of the things I was thinking about, although it's unusual for it to be recurrent and exertional.
