Cardiac Cath: Patient should get definitive study to find source of chest pain as well as possibly treat it with intervention if suitable. Unless other factors or conditions preclude it should go to Cath lab soon.

More info needed: This is not something any distant expert on this forum can answer: it depends entirely on additional details of his cardiac evaluation and his cardologist's diagnosis and advice. If you want to sign up for HealthTap's concierge service and the personal care of a cardiologist, that might be possible (at some expense). In the meantime, ask his doctor either directly or for referral for 2nd opinion.

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.
