Patient: went to er on 2-17 with light chest pains and shortness of breath they did bloodwork and one was elevated so admitted and did a heart cath the next am which was neg no stents placed at all I am 39 been diabetic for 33 years blood pressure never high dr said it was a stress heart attack however still having light shortness of breath and a rotating pain in front of chest and rotates around to the back on left side dr wants to put a monitor on next wed is that too late? Doctor: hello. thanks for posting here.Since you have a normal coronary angiogram you need not worry about a heart attack. As your doctor told you, you may be experiencing a stress attack or a panic attack. Also please get a chest x ray done to see if there are any lung related cause of chest pain and shortness of breath like infection( pneumonia) or asthma.your doctor wants to connect you with a rhythm monitor which can also help here. as far as your concern about whether it's late , you can wait for the appointment, there is no immediate hurry. thank you
