Suggest treatment for chest pains
Patient: My partner has been taken into hospital with chest pains. Her cardiac enzymes are slightly elevated and BP 174/93. The nurse said one cardiac enzyme was +55 and her CRP is +11 which indicated an infection. Is all of this serious as they are keeping her in hospital but say it may be heartburn. They are repeating tests in 6 hours Thanks Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM....You have chest pain complaint ....Here your cardiac enzymes are high ...CRP is non specific that can elevate in inflammation or infection both ...So first rule out ischemic heart disease by EKG and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY .....If ischemic heart disease there treated accordingly...Your blood pressure high which needs to be corrected by sodium nitropruside like drug infusion ...If no specific cardiac cause present and you have acidity problem than chest pain can be reffered pain ....For which simple acidity reducing drug given like omeprazole on empty stomach before meal ...Take care ....Consult physician for this.
