What are the side effects of a cardiac CTA?
Last Thursday 12/8/16, I went to the ER with pain in my chest, fearing a heart attack. After the EKG came back OK, the doctor suggested a Cardiac CTA to be sure. The test went well and found less than 25% blockage. (Not bad for a 45 year old male with a sweet tooth.) The chest pain subsided that day but a sharp pain in my right pectoral muscle has been bothering me ever since. It hurts when I laugh, cough, sneeze, and sometimes when I swallow or get up from a seated position. I can move my right arm in all directions without pain.
