 Im not sure JSH is the wisest place to ask for medical advice
Good point. Josh, there are lot's of reasons for chest pain. Maybe heart, maybe not, if they haven't done a stress test, then you should probably have one. Is the doc you're going to a cardiologist? Maybe you should get a 2nd opinion. i was at work and the chest pains got so bad i collapsed so my supervisor took me to the hospital and a family doctor talked to me, took an x-ray, and gave me pills. You're really young for angina, but it's not impossible. You need to have a complete evaluation from a good MD. Don't mess around. I know it's expensive, but so are funereals. See a good internist (not a family MD and NOT an ER doc). If you don't know one, call your local hospital, ask for the medical staff secretary/office & get a recommendation. Say you want a board certified doc in either internal medicine or cardiology. see, the whole thing about age...i didnt know anything about that....and i also didn't know about NOT wanting to talk to a family md or an er doc...why is that, by the way? |

It's not that you don't want to talk to them.....just you want someone who is well trained. Internists & cardiologists are usually better trained than a family doc for possible heart problems or difficult diagnoses. ER docs aren't usually 'at the top of their class', plus their focus is the immediate situation, not the 'big picture'. Hope this helps. |
