What test can I do to detect the early stage of heart problem?

Question

I got all the symthoms of heart problem (chest pain, shortnesss of breathe, pain in arms, jaws, and nect). I highly suspect that I got a heart problem but it's at the early stage. I did blood test, EKG, and x-ray, they were all normal. I'm gonna do a stress test in the next few days but I think it will be normal as well. What other tests can I do to confirm that I may be at the early stage of heart problem?

Answer 1

Stress tests.

Also, if all else fails, they suspect cloggage, angiograms detect them.

My mother had what you have. The doctors told ehr everything was good and then one amazing ER doctor spotted a slight problem with her ekg and had her admitted and her doctor did an angiogram and she found her arteries were almost all the way clogged.

Not that Im saying thats the case with you. But its better to be safe than sorry, right?

Answer 2

There are different types of stress tests. Some include an echocardiogram, some are done after an injection of thallium, a radioactive tracer. Newer imaging techniques can assess blockage of the coronary arteries without dye injections. Discuss these and other options with your cardiologist.

I hope your suspicions of early disease are correct, but you can have significant blockage with few or no symptoms. Get a thorough evaluation, and good luck.

Answer 3

Dont worry, after your stress test they will give you a battery of other tests, Blood work, CRP, etc.
Echo cardiagram-and many other tests.
If you have not had a stress test (depends on which one you get) treadmill or nuclear, you will probably be surprised as it usually will either relieve your immediate fears, or give the Dr some definite arrows on how to treat you. Good luck

Answer 4

Have an E.K.G stress test done. If anything is wrong it will tell the doctor.
