I have terrible chest, arm and back pain but my EKG and chest X-ray came back normal. It’s been going on for four years. I used to run 15 miles a day and now I can barely walk one without feeling Winded.

Each time I got to the hospital they tell me everything looks okay so I just feel like it’s useless to go anywhere.

This is amazing a lot of hospitals would of sent her home after a clear EKG he is a great Doctor kudos to him.

It seems that EKG's are useless in terms of diagnosing heart attacks, so why are they still used for this purpose?

Almost everything you said happened to me. 1 month ago. All I was doing was watching tv and just felt weird and like you I googled symptoms and was shocked that what I was reading, I didn’t actually feel anything in my chest, it was everywhere else from the chest up, back of my arms, head ache, jaw pain and a radiating feeling… cold sweats and fatigue. I had two blockages 1 97% (widow maker) and the other 100% had two stents placed during angioplasty. Haven’t felt exactly perfect, but I am getting there. I have started a new job though and i seem ok at work.

Ok so these are the things that really get my anxiety up. Her ekg came
Back fine, but then the ultrasound showed a completely different outcome. This scares me. I need to know if she had lifestyle factors that contributed to a 100% blockage.. surely you don’t get a full blockage by living a healthy lifestyle.

Sorry but ekgs don’t do a lot to diagnose heart attacks. My dad was diagnosed with a heart attack, not sure of it was from ekg. But there needs to be a faster more useful method instead of ekg to diagnose it.

I had jaw pain in the gym. I finished my workout and went home and the pain subsided after I took a pain killer. Fastforward 6 months later, went for a routine checkup and they told me I must have had multiple attacks over the span of the last year. 100% block on one artery and 90% on another. Its all stented now. Point being, the pain was weird when it came, but I convinced myself that I was super fit and it cannot be heart attack. Dont make that mistake. I think ECG test costs so less, and its a life saver.

[tracyzarate]

Mine all started with that crazy Cpap machine!!! Now I’m scared of doctors and going to the hospital. 2nd heart attack in 2 weeks when I was sleeping and dreaming

[sandkozo]

Did you have high blood pressure? Are you over weight?

[kimberleykirk]

I agree, ....ekgs are useless. Mine showed normal sinus rythum too but, they said I was not nor did I have a heart attack. They tried to knock it of as throughout needed to maybe have an EGD by a Gastroenterologist. The only thing I didn't do wad perfume sweating.
