Why Am I Having Intermittent Twinges In My Chest?

I keep having intermittent twinges in my chest the last few weeks. Under lots of stress. I have a referral to a cardiac specialist, but I'm trying to decide whether to go urgent care today. the twinge was there when I woke up this afternoon (slept late) but is gone now.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query very carefully.

You are having chest discomfort (twinges on your chest) for a few weeks now, which may be a sign for new onset chest angina. New onset angina may be a warning sign for future cardiovascular events including heart attack.

This is why it's essential that you contact a cardiologist for further examinations.

You shouldn't wait for the cardiologist appointment and go to ER if your symptoms increase in intensity or become more frequent (signs that the things are getting worse).

Otherwise you should wait for cardiologist appointment.

Meantime, wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
