Would a heart problem have shown up after blood tests/2 ekgs/chest x-ray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It all depends on what the problem is. Many valvular diseases, stable coronary [heart artery] blockages, and intermittent rhythm problems would look normal on all of those tests. You'd have to be very specific about the symptoms for me to decide what the best tests are. Shotgunning it is the wrong way to go - test enough things and something will be [falsely] abnormal and result in overtreating.
