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.
What Does Shortness Of Breath Along With Pressure In The Chest Indicate?
If I have an EKG, chest xray, nuclear stress test, and ST scan and all show no obvious blockages, but I still get shortness of breath after very little exertion, have heaviness on my chest, headaches and a bit of nausea after little exertion, would you recommend a heat ctheterizaion to detect possible blockages in small arteries? My sister slso passed all these same tests but insizted on a catheterization and had emergency triple bypass procedures thar same eve. Our family history is riddled with cardiac problems. Thank you.
Most likely you have stable angina, and I recommend that you perform the Echo and heart catheterization in order to identify the lesion. Also, I recommend that you start the aspirin tablets once after lunch.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mahmoud Abouibrahim
