Chest Pain

by sickman15, May 19, 2008 02:00PM
I am hoping someone here can help. I have been having bad chest pains on the left side. I went to my doctor and he said that its all muscle. Had a nuclear stress test done. It came back fine. Had a chest x-ray done and that came back fine. All blood work came back fine. It all started when I was put on Blood pressure Medicine. My pressuse goes from 137/85 to 117/77 it varies. I am taking Norvasc 10 MG. This has been going on now for about 6 months. I went to the ER when thinking I was having a heart attack and everything came back fine. Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chest pain can be from a lot of diffrent causes. If your nuclear stress test is normal it is less likely to be due to any blockages in your heart blood vessels. Your doctor can discuss with you other possible causes for your chest pain
