Heart Or Something Else? Help!!!! Posted: 03-06-06 20:29pm
Hi!! In july I told my Dr. That I was
having a few mild pains on the left side
of me chest. He did an ekg which showed
I had had a heart attack. He didn't
believe I had. I was sent for the test
that showed my calcium buildup score which
was normal for my gender (female) and age
(49). I was then sent for a stress test
which was good other than a slight buildup
of plaque in the rt. Artery. I was put
on pravachol for high cholesteral. I was
then sent to a cardiologist so that he
could go over the stress test with me.
Once again an ekg was done. It also
showed a heart attack. I was then given
an echocardiogram which was perfectly
normal. The cardiologist said that
everything was fine and my heart looked
great. About a month ago my pains on the
left side began to increase. They are
not bad, just very annoying. Last week,
heart burn increased dramaticallyand I
began to feel a fluttering in my chest.
This leaves me with a weird feeling. Went
to the er and everything checked out fine.
Ekg was great and all blood work was
great. I saw my pcp and he feels it may
be anxiety. Anyone have a comment? I
cannot lead my life this way. I'm scared
all day. I'm afraid something has been
missed.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease can also
mimics heart attacks
