Manage your GERD: One trick may be elevating the head of your bed on cinder blocks. General physical conditioning can help also. This is not heart pain. If you are offered meds for GERD, please use them faithfully.

Highly accurate: The combination of those 3 being negative, in your age category are reassuring and make the chance of a fatal cardiac condition being under 10% and likely less than that. A lower heartrate is not a bad thing. I would recommend weight loss and increased diet and exercise.

I'm 28 and don't smoke. Can I still have an AFib or Angina if my EKG, chest X-ray, blood, and stress test came back normal? One EKG showed abnormal heart rhythm but 4 others ( taken within 5 month span) showed normal heart rhythm. I'm really scared.

Obese with a resting heart rate that goes down to 50bpm. I heard that is not normal, and may indicate heart blockage or MVP. HR elevates to 140bpm when exercising. Ekg's, stress, blood ( troponin I < 0.02) X-ray are normal. What could be wrong?
