anxiety or heart desease?
i had chest pain nearly 2 years and had all cardiac test done ,which came negative,been in er like evry month since had 1 ecg low t wave and doc still said theres no harm to the heart could smeone help me plz ?
The association of an ecg low "T" wave with chest pain can be related to hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia.
T-wave abnormalities by their own, without the detection of chest pain or similar such symptoms, are neither conclusively proven of any harm, nor a sign of problem in future. It is only when these accompany pains, that a doctor consider it as an alarming development. Results support the concept that hypomagnesemia is common in patients with chest pain in the emergency department and is associated with hypokalemia but is not predictive of whether the patient with chest pain has had an acute myocardial infarction.
