Consult MD: Not all chest pains are from the heart! it can be neuromuscular , GI or other causes. Consult md!

No: No, you are not confused. Chest pains can be non-cardiac as well, but additionally, no cardiac test (and in this case I am assuming that you had a stress test) is 100% sensitive and so if you continue to have symptoms that you are concerned could be cardiac, discuss them with your physician.

A member asked:

I feel a bit confused. My cardiologist had me do 48 hour halter monitor, blood tests stress echocardiogram, resting echo and ECGs. He said my heart was fine. Would this mean it would be very unlikely that I have CAD?
