Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Yes: Cardiologists often leave anxiety as the last possible cause of chest pain, as more dangerous causes, such as heart attack, blood clot in lungs, main artery damage, need to be investigated first. An otherwise heal 25 year-old female is at low-risk heart disease, but it does occur. After emergency evaluation, further investigation into the cause of the pain should be done with your doctor.
