Stress Test
I went to the doctor after having a "heaviness" or "tightness" in my chest for a week or so. I also had developed a slight shortness of breath and a feeling of being flush. The doctor admitted me to the hospital to check my blood levels to see if I had had a heart attack. I had not. I have had two sets of chest xrays done and they show nothing as well. I went in for a stress test and it appeared to be "abnormal". I went in for an angiogram and the doctor assures me that my heart is in excellent shape except for a very small blockage. I continue to have the tightness in my chest and the feeling of being flush. I have a blood pressure of 100 over 60 and a pulse of 72. I have had no other problems in the past. I am at a loss as to where to go next. Could all of the testing and procedures be taxing my system?
