Stress Test Positive. Chest Tightness Without Pain During Exertion Possible?
Is it possible to have chest tightness without pain during exertion ie. cutting the grass, walking up hill, carrying out the garbage. I had a positive stress test and I was referred to a Cardiologist 3 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for an appointment. I called his office last week and his staff said they would call when he looks at my file. Should I call back. 3 weeks seems like a long time to wait to set an appointment.
