Hi, im a 38 female I went to the er with chest pains and they did an ekg blood work and chest xray but everything came back normal im dad died last sat and everyone one on his sideof the family have heart problems er dr wants me to have a stress test. My question is can I still have a bad heart I was want to know why I have bad chest pains
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of cardiac chest pain is very less because you are having normal ECG. Sometimes patient can have cardiac disease despite normal ECG. You are also having strong family history of heart disease. So better to get done stress test. If stress test is normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Anxiety and tension can also cause similar kind of chest pain. So avoid tension, be relaxed and calm.Don't worry, you will be alright but get done stress test first. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
