Causes of Chest Pain | How a Cardiologist Evaluates this.

[@reneeubry9065]

I would pass under the radar for you just like I did at my Dr’s when I was having a heart attack. I get “silent heart attacks” and an EKG couldn’t see it even when it was happening. I am the kind of female who the 1st sign of a heart problem would have been sudden death. I am the one who decided that I had a problem and that became very clear in the CATH Lab, so my not liking the burning sensation has saved my life. Since it doesn’t show up on tests I have a medical alert dog and she can tell I am getting ready to have a problem before it happens and then I have time to prevent it with meds. She is always right and what a help that has been. She is young and tiny but she knows her job. She is so good that she alerted for another person who was getting ready to have a heart attack and was able to help prevent it. Hurrah for service dogs working as medical alert dogs.

[@MsSaga91]

How did they find out you were having a silent heart attack if you couldn't be tested for it?

[@Old_Sailor85]

My EKG was "normal" right up until they figured out I needed bypass surgery...

[@JUST_A_FAN_OF_HYUNJINH]

How did they figure out you needed heart bypass

[@Old_Sailor85]

@@JUST_A_FAN_OF_HYUNJINH Heart Catheterization is the definitive test, but it was troponin levels in the blood that indicate you are having a "heart attack".

Thank you! This is extremely informative and educational.

Thanks for this quick run down of differential diagnosis of heart pain..

Thank you Prof. Barlis. Privileged to have this information.

[@nassimkanj7130]

Thanks for the Explanations. in one evening while walking gently, i felt pain spreading from the neck to the left side of the chest above the heart, in the front. the pain gradually increased and kept increasing until i laid flat on my back, then it decreased ant went away, 2 days later it happened again and i laid flat on my back and pain gradually disappeared. 2 weeks earlier I had EKG and X ray of heart, all looked normal. your advise is appreciated.

[@kathylewis2121]

Thank you very much. Very informative. My husband who 60 , gets sudden very sharp pain primarily on his left side. He doubles over and clutches his chest. No sweating, bp is ok mostly (125|85), blood sugar levels around 4.5 to 4.7. Slightly clammy. Lasts approx 5 mins or so then fades away. There has been times this can happen 2 or 3 times in a row. Yes he is a smoker (5 a day now … down from 25). Gall bladder is a bit restless at times after rich or spicy food. Occasionally takes gavascon tablets for heart burn. Family has heart valve problems.

Hello, Im 54 too, and it sucks been 54 😢. Well, for once, I think I am 54. I can't remember anyway. I was born in 1969, so I think that makes me 55 this year. I'm telling you my memory is bad. I have always suffered from chest related pain that always kept me from doing any full-time sports. The moment I started doing some running, jumping, or whatever, I got this pain first just below my chest trunk. Then, little by little, I detected a more localized pain around the left side of my shoulder. Every time I try any kind of exercise. I still did some semi military work as a fireman in Mexico when I was 17 or 18, but I had to work with this condition as money was more important than my life or health, of course 😅. I'm curious to know if these pains are somewhat more common in most people and we just never talk about it. This is the best explaining video I have seen so far. Thanks.

[@PeterHallam-c4x]

Hi, may I ask what would be the best scan to have to check the heart and see any problems internally?

I have near constant fear of heart attacks, i am only 26 but i have had sinus tachycardia for a long time, a few months ago i started getting bad palpitations and got a holter monitor for 24 hours, they also did an x ray, ecg, blood, and echo, the cardiologist said i have sinus rythm but a pretty fast heart. I got beta blocker low dose 23.75mg but somehow im not reassured i still get tightness and often feel like when i take a deep breath its uncomfortable and tight from the chest to the throat, my life is completely in ruins because i cant stop worrying and i have no idea what to do... tingling face and feet hot flashes, god i hate this

[@jodyjae]

Me too, I've been struggling from last year. Fast heartrate and high blood pressure + anxiety. I think about my heart rate 24/7 I can't relax not to mention the chest pain.

[@3rdworldgwaming467]

I'm guessing you are an anxiety sufferer like me. There's medication for anxiety, or you can learn anxiety management from a therapist, take supplements like magnesium etc. Good luck 🤞

I have W.P.W. and have taken an Echogram of my heart. I've had to wear a heart monitor for a week. I've had a tilt table test and a stress test in which I've tested positive for Ischemia. I am now scheduled to have a Coronary Angiogram in two weeks. Yikes!

[@HeartMatters]

Thank you for your feedback! That is my approach, it isn't only based on research I read / observe in the literature but it is based on research I do myself with imaging and examining arteries within the body itself using a laser scan called optical coherence tomography.
