What Causes Chest Pains And Dizziness?
Question: I recently had minor chest pains and dizziness, so I went to my family dr and had a chest xray and EKG done. Both test came back normal. I do not have any known family history risks, non-smoker. Dr told me risk factors are low. I am just wondering if I should get a exercise stress test done? I do have a history of anxiety disorder. I have controlled it the last few yrs with no instances until recently. I basically exercise for a living and I just need to know if it's my anxiety acting back up? would u recommend a stress test with a normal xray and ekg? I'm 32 yrs old, , not overweight, do not drink. I hope I gave you enough info. Thanks. Been afraid to really exercise to hard due to my worries.

anxiety. no need to worry much.normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
Be relaxed. Looking at your history and life style the chance of any cardiac problem is very less. So with ECG and chest xray being normal with no risk factors, at your age I don't usually ask for exercise stress test. This may be due to anxiety. So just for your anxiousness you can get done exercise stress test.
More than that do exercises regularly for 30min a day for 5-6 days aweek and have less carbohydrate and less fat diet. This will help you.
Be relaxed. I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health and happy life.
Regards
