Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello. My mother went to primary care doctor after having chest & and arm pain. The Dr said it was a possible heart attack and referred her to a cardiologist. They also took a blood test to check her enzymes. The cardiologist still hasn t contacted her in 2 days. Her primary Dr called her today and told her that it was a heart attack but didn t prescribe her any medication or refer her to the ER where she can have further tests done. She s saying that her primary Dr. said that she could have another one within 24-72 hours. Why didn t her primary Dr. tell her to go into the ER or prescribe medication to lower the risk of a second one? Is there a chance of her having a second one within the next couple days?

Can A Heart Attack Be Prevented?
Hello, If heart attack is confirmed earlier by investigation and clinical examination and not treated, then there are chances of another attack at any time. So, I advise you to go to a nearby MD doctor as soon as possible and start treatment. Take all your reports with you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Divyesh Sondarva
