Chest Pains-ER No Help

by patjd, Apr 11, 2009 06:30PM
Last weekend I had been having chest pains for almost 2 weeks, so I finally went to the ER to get some test done.
I suffer from pvcs, pacs, sinus tach, but have never had chest pains before.  EKG was normal, blood work was normal, and I just had an echo done 1 1/2 months ago and my cardiologist says everything looks good.  They also checked my gallbladder through the blood work.  Nitro didn't help the chest pains either.  After 13 hours they send me home, said they didn't know what it was and basically said good-luck.  I am still getting these pains, which go through to my back.  My family doctor has given me some meds for an ucler, thinking that may be it.  The doctor in the er said that there may be a small partial blockage in the arteries of my heart, but nothing substancial.  Has anyone else gone through a similar situation and can provide me with some guidance about what I should do next?

Are you having an SVT attack when you are having these chest pains. I had a very rapid a-fib/flutter and whenever my h/r went to 250-300 I would get horrible chest pains that radiated to the back. If you were not having an SVT attack during the chest pains I would insist on further testing from my doctor. I would also check for acid reflux, that can cause pain also. Can I ask you how they checked your gallbladder throu bloodwork? I had to have an ultra sound to detect my gallbladder problems. Got look finding answers. I wish you well and I wish you enough...

I don't know if they can check your gallbladder through blood work?  I do have to go this week for an ultrasound.  My heart rate was normal during the chest pains, my beta blockers keep it pretty low.  Maybe this is an acid problem.....I am getting frustrated by feeling so crumby all the time, and no answers!!!!  Thank you for your reply.
