What causes chest pains and cold sweats?
Patient: I am suffering chest pain. The pain can sometimes be extreme.I aslo suffer from cold sweats. I also have chronic hypertension. I take blood pressure medicine, but I have yet to find the right dosage to bring it under control. I have a stent, which I got in 2008. I recently had a cardiac cath and nothing was found. The pain responds to nitro.I have seen multiple doctors and the best answer I got was a pinched nerve. Something was also said about some swelling around my ribs. Doctor: a pain which get relieved by  taking nitrates is highly suggestive  of cardiac origin pain as you had got  a stent in 2008 so i would suggest you to go for  a stress thallium test as soon as possible if anything is wrong in stress thallium then go for a check angigraphy
