What causes dull chest pain while exercising?
Patient: Hi-   I had done Mibi test recently and Rest tomographic slice show a small to moderate sized defeat involving the inferolateral Wall with normal wall motion. However, the result shows that Mibi shows the inferolateral rest defect was mostly corrected by with the CT attenuation correction. I have sometime dull chest pain when I excercise. CAD test should blockage less than 50%. I am 44 yrs old with family history of heart problem. I do NOT have high blood pressure.   Here are the questions.   1.     SHOULD QUITE EXERCISE or CONTINUE? Or should change the exercise intensity – walk instead of run? How long? Etc.  2.     Should go for the Catherization and coronary Angiograms? Concerned due to invasive nature of it.  3.      Should repeat MIBI – Mibi shows the inferolateral rest defect was mostly corrected by with the CT attenuation correction.  4.     Should repeat the CAD test? Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern.No need to worry much for inferolateral defect on MiBi scan.Continue with running and other cardio workouts.No need for invasive angiography.Get done regularly, CAD and MiBi scans to know if there is any worsening of defect.Hope I have solved your query.
