A member asked:
New angina wont go away, er said it wasnt a heart attack, im already on beta blockers. should i be seeing my dr or keep taking the blockers?

Probably both: There are numerous causes for chest pain- some are worrisome, some are not lethal but important to assess. For chest pain which a clear cause has not been determined, the recommendation is to remain on prescribed medications and seek alterative medical evaluation or emergency department evaluation for new or recurrence of worrisome symptomology.
