A member asked:
If someone goes to the er after fainting (out for 3 min) w/dx of dermatomyositis and recent "mild", sporadic chest pain, be admitted to the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: The ER will do an evaluation to ascertain if admission is warranted. What you described may not require admission if the myocardial cause of chest pain is excluded.
