Am I Having Signs Of Heart Attack?
I have had 2 episodes of sudden chest pain, dizziness, arm pain and cold sweats in the past few months requiring hospitalization with some changes to my ECG results, no enzymes seen in blood tests (no heart damage). A recent angiogram was negative for coronary artery blockages. I remain on beta blockers and aspirin until seen again soon by my cardiologist. My father died @ age 44 of a heart attack and I am a 43 year old male. What are some other possible causes and questions I should be asking my doctor ?

Hi,
If you had a normal angiogram recently, then a heart attack in a year is not likely. You should look for another cause for your complaints, such as costochondritis or spine problems. Just follwo healthy lifestyle and don't worry.
The only advise I would give you check your cholesterol level once a year and have a stress test.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
