Asking For Self, Male 30, kharian
daily left side chest discomfort that lasts for 2,3 hours. normaly starts at early morning or sometimes after lunch....my cardiologist says its just anxiety and stomatch related. But after omeprazole and antiacids i still face it daily. is it unstable angina????
Kidnly let me know your age ? Risk factors like diabetes hypertension smoking ?
Thanks for putting up your query,
The symptoms which you're mentioning could have various reasons starting from stomach, chest, muscle, heart or anxiety. But the foremost thing is to ensure that this is not related to heart. because many at times the pain from heart appears just like stomach upset but is rather a serious issue. Therefore it is imperative that you seek an advise from a heart specialist and once he has determined through tests or otherwise that this is not related to heart then you can rest assured and get this treated appropriately.
simple answer to your question is, yes this could be unstable angina until proven otherwise.
your ECG shows tachycardia and upsloping St depressions which are non specific findings.
thanks

Detailed history of chest pain is needed.. how this pain started? Is it radiating? How it relieves? Did you take any medications to relieve this pain? Can you tell the exact point location of this pain? Do you feel nausea or sweating during episodes? Is it associated with any position change?
Patient

Dear,
The symptoms and ecg which you are showing is not normal. Your ecg showing some significant changes. U better change the cardiologist or visit to a hospital who has some good cardiologist. Meanwhile i suggest you to improve your lifestyle. Walking daily for 30-45 mins daily except Saturday n sunday. But until its not diagnosed to go for walk. Eat healthy food
