Blockage
Can an EKG tell if you have blockage? I have been having chest and left arm pain. It is like a tightening in the middle of my chest. It radiates to my throat my back and left arm. It comes and goes. I had a blood test and anEKG and they are supposedly normal. Some thing is going on and I dont know what to do. And also I dont have insurance. The Dr. seeem to think its my esophagus. But I dont.
I totally agree! You know your body best, and these are classic symptoms of heart problems.
If I were you, I would follow my instinct and pursue this. With your symptoms you definitely need to get a second, and maybe third opinion. An echo and a stress test would be very helpful. And in the long run, it would also be financially worth it. Also it would give you peace of mind. Good Luck!
