need some reassurance

by phanatic, Dec 03, 2007 02:29PM
Female, age 55. Heart attack 5 weeks ago.  Had angioplasty, two stents in right coronary artery. Doing ok, on ace, plavix, aspirin, beta blocker. ETT and ECHO last week went well, managed 9 mins on the treadmill with no breathlessness or pain.   Test stopped by me because of fatigue. Also using treadmill at home daily without any probs.
Now getting pain upper left chest and then the pain moves  central.There is a feeling in my left arm but I am anxious when I get the pain. Pain occurs at rest or when doing very little not when exercising. I thought  this was indigestion so the doc is going to start me on lansoprazole. Apparently plavix and aspirin can cause indigestion type pains. I have taken GTN spray when i get this pain and i have a lot of wind symptoms. Anyone having  any similar probs.
