" go to er if you at all suspect a cardio issue! if not,
keep nagging. i had several problems after my bypass
i had to go to er on the 3rd night i was home, had minor m.i.
went back to work 3 months later, had to go to er again after climbing stairs to mens room,had 1st angioplasty
still had pain in chest, doctors ignored it, found out sternal wires were coming out, actually poked through skin, then he would only remove 3 of them because he was pissed off i would come back to such a glorious surgeon with such a trivial matter. went back to another surgeon,he took out all but 1.
also dx w/ costo condritis(rib inflammation)
point is, your pain could be several different or a few combined things.get a new cardiologist if yours keeps ignoring you or go to a different specialty like i had to with my sternal wires
good luck! "
