I've had symptoms (chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, fatigue, etc.) since my early teens. Family physician wrote it off as, "I was acting out". A year or so later, I broke a bone, had to have surgery, and the anesthesiologist discovered I had an issue during a routine EKG. Cardiologist discovered and blamed the symtpoms on mitral valve prolapse after a stress test with a heart echo. Now I am 35 years old and went into acute respiratory failure after a major surgery. Followed up with a cardiologist whom almost dismissed my symptoms due to GERD but decided to do a nuclear stress test due to my occupation (police officer). Stress test appeared to be flawless until he reviewed the nuclear imaging which showed a possible blockage or ischemia in my left coronary artery. Had a heart cath and discovered "mild myocardial bridging in my mid left descending anterior coronary artery. Now I am currently taking a 2 beta blockers, aspirin, and lipitor. I continue to have the same symptoms. My cardiologist ensured me that this condition would not cause me a heart attack or any other issues.

Luckily there are doctors who think differently. Surgery is the best option.

With all due respect Dr, it has been proven that it is best to do a diastolic FFR or an IFR when testing

Bottom-line: leave patients to suffer if beta-blockers don‘t help
