I am a 41 year old female, have been having chest pains since Friday, today is Tuesday.  Went to the hospital yesterday and they did a blood test and x-ray found nothing and sent me home today.  They kept me in overnight because of my history of clots (3 P.Es 2 mini strokes due to LVF) but my pains started again.  The first one was a clenching pain that passed to my back then shoulder then left arm, the pains since have all been short clenches.  Im not stressed out (except about this pain) or anxious about anything so dont understand
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases in your case because you are having history of heart failure and clots in lungs (pulmonary embolism). Your symptoms like chest pain and radiation to left arm are classically seen in heart diseases. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test) 5. Coronary angiography if required. You may need cardiac supportive Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
