My wife has had 2 (3 days apart) recent episodes (August) of severe angina radiating to the jaw. Her ekg's showed an inverted T wave..others subsequent to this were normal, as was the stress-echo. She still complains of fatigue, occasional tachycardia and occasional low grade angina, sometimes radiating to the back. Local cardiologist can confirm nothing, but says an ekg during the severe pain phase would be helpful--although he admits ekg's have limited diagnostic usefulness in women. Not sure what to do at this point...Her physical profile and history is incongruous with her symptoms...yet her life is not normal...need help!
