What Causes Jaw Pain Leading To Chest Heaviness?

my husband has just undergone an angioplasty which shows normal blood flow but still suffers chest pain on the slightest exertion (jaw pain radiating to chest heaviness) at times of both rest and mild exertion - this doesn t happen all the time but the last few weeks is fairly regular - any answers?

Hi,

Angina despite having normal arteries on Angiography can be because of spasm of the arteries which can cause similar chest pain.
Ask your doctor about adding of Nitrate to his treatment.
There are several other causes of chest pain which are treated with a simple pain killer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
