Should i worry?

[michijer]

22 year old male, no family history of heart failure, high blood pressure runs in the family as does DVT.

I've been haing mild to mod. left arm/shoulder/upper left hand side chest pain for a week now. The pain is usually constant, but seems less when i'm moving around keeping my heartrate up. I have a history of HBP with a usual reading of around 145/80. No meds for the HBP.

I was in the ER thursday, stayed overnight at the hospital, and released friday.

Multiple EKGs were good, all blood enzymes were good, a stress test and imaging were called good by a cardiologist, but the radiologist said there maybe something to look at closer but went into no detail.

I go in for the resting phase of the stress test tomorrow morning.

Should i be worrying myself sick over this? The cardiologist told me, qoute " THIS IS NOT A HEART PROBLEM" before releasing my friday after having seen the all the test. I still have shoulder/arm/chest pains with asprin providing no pain relieve.

Thank you very much.

I have a reversiable ischemia antorior wall with a LVEF of 58% I go to see a cardiologist tomorrow.

Reading up some on the condtions, it sounds like i will require a stent at the least?

It would be very unlikely with a negative stress test that your symptoms are cardiac.  You coulod have a nerve root compression that could cause these symptoms.
