I am a healthy active nonsmoking 49 yr old female with no parental history of heart disease,  i recently went to the er with chest pains, blood tests showed slightly elevated troponin as did a 2nd test. Chest x-ray, ekg, echo and finally cardiac cath showed no damage and normal heart function I still have ongoing chest pain.What shall i do now?
Hello Headfirst of all I want to thank you for adequate information. Cardiac cat his the final test to rule out if there is any cardiac issue going on and as in your case it has come out to be normal even after a positive top you are quite lucky. For your information top can also be slightly raised in some other scenarios also and as a cardiologist we always prefer to summaries things instead of just going with top reports. Now coming to your question was to do is, first relax as you are not having any cardiac issue, secondly take a hot water bottle and give hot fomentation and use mild pain relief meds like paracetamol twice a day for just 3 days, hopefully all be relieved. Good Luck
