I in the past few months began having painful chest pains for a moments time.Once while at school i had a deep pushing pain with a pain in my left arm(never occured to me it might be heart problem)then on July 4 about two months later it happened again as i was sitting downwatching T.V.I had been to the ER 4 times in less than a month and at the time of this pain i was wearing a holter monitor(heart monitor).
I had 3-4 EKG/ECK done to me and all stated that it was Normal.
And my doctor and emergency room doctors all said my EKGs were normal.
Is it normal or are the doctor lieing?or is just anxiety,a little depression,and me being anemic causing these frequent pains?

Unfortuntly not all MI's can be detected with an EKG. Talk to your Doctor about a Cardiac Stress Test, and a Cardiac Catherization. Also one thing to remember is that there are other things that can make you experience chest pains, such as acid reflux (GERD), Anxiety, Gall Stones, and even a form of Arthritis that cause inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum. So talk to your Doc about the stress test and cardiac cath, and good luck. :D

When it comes to your heart you don't want to mess around. You have the right to be worried but if the Dr said your EKG came back find then chances are it anxiety or even something Else maybe you should get a second opinion and also find a primary Dr so they can give you a compete exam. Good luck

Well I sure feel better knowing you saw a doctor! I had symptoms much like that and found it was stress. Also, acid reflux can cause the chest pains you described even if you're not aware that you have reflux. My vote would be for anxiety, however, it might not hurt to try an over the counter heartburn medication to see if it eases symptoms.

My Uncle's EKG's were normal in the doctor's office too then on his way out the door he dropped with a heart attack, which damaged the left side of his heart.

you cud goto an out patient cardio clinic. anxiety may cause pain ,palpitations, sweating . you should get ur routines done , a hb level more than 11 wud certainly rule out the symptoms. u might need an echo that will certainly help. but see a cardiologist for sure

Cardiac neurosis occurs in those who recently saw a friend or relation with severe cardiac problem and spend a lot of time reading or logging about heart attacks.

anxiety can mimic a heart attack
seek professional medical advice..prescribed meds for anxiety do help so does 1:1 counseling
