thank you for taking my question
after over two years of having chest tightness and being out of breath (this was once in a while). I had an eposide at work where I knew I was in trouble, just didn't feel good had the squeezing bad, was nauseated, pale. Work called the amublance, anyway they admitted me I have an excellect cardologist now. He did the heart cath. the next morning and I had one artery on the right side that was a little blocked but not enough to do anything about and then he tested the heart for they spasms three times the same artery did it. I came home on 30 mgs this was jan 10 (ps iam 42 year old female) and I keep having them at home, i also had my nitro spary so he keeps changing meds now its 120 imdur 2x daily and norvasc 2.5 mgs 2 x daily and i take toperal 50mg 1 x daily. Now of course we are still trying to figure out why this happened and I go back feb 13th. I understand that with the spasam the artery closes that is why i need the nitro, but if he would have fixed that artery, do you think that could have fixed me (i don't like taking this meds daily for the rest of my life) how could it close if they would have put a stent in there? now iam also having other little pains i didn't have before that go in my shoulder, went in both sides of neck and one time in my left jaw. and i get alot of a little pain next to my left breast, when i have these i don't have the pressure. but that is when i notice them seems like they travel to the shoulder and now the jaw. Do they check your caroted artery during heart cath. Thanks for your time. Lynn
