Do My Friend Have Serious Heart Problems If The Cath Showed No Blockage ?
A friend recently started having bad chest pain that comes and goes. The cardiac cath was negative ? Now he thinks that he is out of the woods, but I still think that on and off bad chest pain is not normal and that his doctor sort of blew him off. Can you still have serious heart problems if the cath showed no blockage or problems but the chest pain persists ?

Has your friend had his gallbladder checked? I started having chest pains out of the blue one day, thought I was having a heart attack at 23, got my heart checked and it wasnt that so I had a HIDA scan done and they said I had gallbladder disease and my gallbladder was functioning poorly and had to come out. That was 5 years ago and havent had a chest pain since.
