Question 1

can angina be detected by ekg or eco ?

Accepted Answer

Angina: Angina is a symptom that can be caused by a number of things. Your heart is 100% not causing your symptoms. Please stop wasting money and energy on what is not the problem and begin to address why you carry so much stress in your chest that your body reacts with pain. Your chest muscles are tired. They do not have enough oxygen. This is your body saying breathe!

Question 2

will all forms of angina show up on an ekg and x-rays?

Accepted Answer

No: Definitely not on an x-ray and probably not on an ekg .  A transient reduction in coronary artery blood flow is not likely to show up on an ekg.

Question 3

34 year old male. no famil history and normal cholestrol. will stress test and ekg predict angina?

Accepted Answer

Angina: is term used for chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.  An exercise stress test has fairly good predictive value for having a heart attack within the subsequent 10 years. With limited risk factors, it is questionable whether a stress test is indicated in a 34 year old male.  The best things you can do are exercise regularly and maintain a heart healthy diet &amp; healthy weight.

Question 4

can angina attacks be exper by missing 1 day of bp meds? if so, my pain level was an 8 with heaviness in chest. if so does this warrant getting ekg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Missed doses or not, if your chest pain changes in pattern, you need an ECG now.

Question 5

i'm 28 and don't smoke. can i still have an afib or angina if my ekg, chest x-ray, blood, and stress test came back normal? one ekg showed abnormal heart rhythm but 4 others ( taken within 5 month span) showed normal heart rhythm. i'm really scared.

Accepted Answer

Stay calm: 28 year old woman with cardiac concerns. Please stay calm and follow up with your physician. Hypertension is a disease with no symptoms that can affect young people, as can arrhythmia. EKG is one point in time and arrhythmia can be episodic and needs to be investigated with a ZIO patch or holter/event monitoring. You need a cardiology consult. Stay strong and manage it. You can do it, good luck.
