Dawn,

"When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras." It could very well be that you were just missing your kickboxing practice...

You have a very demanding schedule there taking care of two young kids while going through treatments. Night mares and dreams can happen due to the stress during the day. Sounded like your husband is taking quite a bit of burden off of you.

I can only share with you my own experience. Both me and my husband's case are rare, especially for our age at the time.

My husband has had high blood pressure since he was diagnosed at 19. He was told to 'walk 30 minutes a day, rain or shine' by his cardiologist after he had had 3 stents put into his heart arteries at the age of 43. He actually had started 'walking' way before that. He used to be a runner, then a jogger, then a walker (when he started suffering from 'runner's knee.) Anyway, before he had felt shoulder pain and went for a stress test, he had already been experiencing a repeated 'nightmare' and waking up 'breathing heavily' (with his hands folded over his chest)for quite a while.

I'd always had dreams and repeated nightmares before my brain surgery took out the culprit - a big 'rock' in the center of my brain.

With your treatment history, I think your doctor would not refuse your request for a test/examination if the problems are bothering you. "It's all in your head." I've heard it many times in my life from my doctors. And goodness gracious, were they right!
