Heart Disease
I am a 53 yo male who has heart disease. I have over 40 stents as well as 2 bypass surguries. I have since developed tremendous chest pain that radiates down my left arm and up to my jaw. It comes out of nowhere and is sometimes a 10 out of 10. Nitro does nothing when it is ramped up so high. I have been in the ER 12 of the last 30 days and it is not only embarrasing but it *****. I have been told each time the ECG is good and the traponin levels are good as well as chest x rays are all good. I am at my wits end of what to do. Can someone please help me ? I live in the suburb of Minneapolis MN. , and I have been to Mayo in Rochester.
Are you sure these are cardiac in nature? Could something else cause these? have you been diagnosed with COPD?
