shotgun Posted July 28, 2016 Share #51 Posted July 28, 2016 I hope everything turns out ok. But, while you're there, enjoy the cable TV and be sure to give the nurses a hard time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 28, 2016 Share #52 Posted July 28, 2016 Yikes!!! Wow glad to hear you are for the most part OK. Keep us posted! FWIW I have had bouts of angina over the years and had a couple of really bad episodes a few months ago. Went to urgent care, they did an EKG and said it wasn't a heart attack. Even though I had them before and knew what they felt like just knowing I wasn't having a heart attack seemed to settle me down and the angina subsided shortly after the EKG was done. It let me focus on the other causes of stress in my life which seemed to help. Oh and if you ever want to get moved to the very front of the line at a walk in clinic, complain of chest pains! I was in & out of there while people who were already there when I got there were still sitting in the waiting room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted July 28, 2016 Share #53 Posted July 28, 2016 Wow, late to this party, but very glad to hear things are checking out ok! Here's hoping the stress test goes well and this was just an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted July 29, 2016 Share #63 Posted July 29, 2016 When I went in with chest pains a few years ago, they gave me nitroglycerin. The pain chest pain went away pretty quickly but gave me one hell of a headache. My private nurse (WoJSTL) said the chest pain going away was not good in this case. She was right - I'd had a heart attack. Chris I hope it's all just a false alarm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your stress test will come tomorrow when they bring you your hospital food breakfast and the (male) nurse demands you eat all the food on your tray.

Indy Posted July 29, 2016 Share #74 Posted July 29, 2016 Before these chest pains started, did the Mrs start in on some other home improvements she wants to do now? I know that usually is the cause of mine as the backlog grows faster than I can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted July 29, 2016 Share #75 Posted July 29, 2016 I had a failed stress test as a young lad. They went ahead with the cath, all was well. A stress test isn't perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems hard to imagine a young man in reasonably good shape failing a stress test. Hideous condition. They gave my some drink (I think with an isotope), put me on the treadmill, took pics of my heart. Said there was a section at the bottom that was not responding, may be nothing, may have been prior heart attack. I had been having on and off chest pain, so they did they cath. Revealed a perfectly healthy heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted July 29, 2016 Share #78 Posted July 29, 2016 I always think I do a stress test every time I ride my bike. I'm not as fast as I used to be, but I'm still pretty aggressive in my riding style. I tend to think that if I had any partial blockages, I wouldn't be able to ride as hard as I do without suffering some discomfort. Probably not true, but it makes me feel better anyway. My mother had a lot of heart problems but luckily for her, she always exhibited pains of some sort that were indicative of her condition prior to suffering a complete blockage/heart attack. Not true for everybody though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
