I started having chest pains about a year ago and told 3 different drs. I was seeing afer being in a car accident.  finally my pcp sent me to a cardiologist.  i first had an ultrasound and was told i had cardiomyopathy and my ef was 35-40% and sent on my way.  next i had an angiogram and was told i had heart spasms and a virus in my heart. then i went back to the cardiologist and he told me i have myocarditis and non ischemic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.  i am 33 no family history of heart disease and little blockage of my arteries.  i still have alot of chest pains even with the meds and the cardiologist said the pains are non cardio.  someone please help me!!!!  thank you:)

I meant "why was any cardiac issue ruled out for the chest pains you still have".  Sorry.  I get in a hurry.

First of all, why was any cardiac issue ruled out?  Which meds are you now taking? I have had a couple of heart attacks and suffer with unstable angina.  Recently it was diagnosed as heart spasms.  Nitro relieves this.  It took some time for the calcium channel blocker to begin giving me any relief. I am curiuos about the numerous reasons for the chest pain and the cardio concludes these are not cardiac???  Ally
