Triple bypass 2016. Heart pain. Ekg done. Nothing abnormal. What are my next steps? It seems no one really cares. When setting an appointment its set for two three weeks out. Wish I knew what to do. Thank you for listening!
There are many things that can cause chest pain that is not heart related. If your vital signs are normal and there is no fever you are most likely not going to be a high priority with this virus taking so many resources. If the pain is bad there is one way to get some immediate help and that is to have someone take you to the local fire station where thay can begin treatment to address your symptoms. I have yet to see a line of people trying to get help where emergency rooms are triage there patience. Hope you can get some answers quick.
In 2013 I went to the ER with chest pain. Normal EKG. They admitted me because of family history. The next day a catherization showed a 90% blockage in my LAD. Same thing happened the next year - perfect EKG - 90% blockage in circumflex. In 2017 another trip to the ER and another normal EKG - the next week I was having triple bypass to repair a 99, 70, and 60!!! EKGs don’t always tell the story. Be persistent!! If you’re still hurting go back!!! If you have a history of heart problems they need to listen!!!
Angina I’ve never had shoulder pain I have two bad roater cuff shoulder pain often ten times I called ambulance and went to er so every time I had shoulder pain which was only pain I ever had to signal trouble I pushed panic button and out came my security blanket ambulance first responders and er staff eventually this very nice doctor helped me to understand the difference and I always have my security blanket if I feel I’m at risk and my check lists helps and my backup plan now I know no room for panic just good response family and emergency contacts
Just put on clonidine patch today--blood pressure all over the place and feel awful. Have you or anyone you know had one on.
I hear you. Me too. Wish I knew what was going on.
