Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

Hi Doctor, my family phscian sent me to the hospital because I was having chest pains. The emergency Dr. had me admitted due to the fact my blood pressure was 176/100,family history and he said my EKG was not prestine and was not normal. After 3 days of testing I was told not to worry about the EKG and was having coronary spasams and if the chest pain (radiating to my jaw) continues (I have only had 5 in 6 months) I will need a catherization.Should I have had it while still in the hospital? Thank You

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely get done coronary angiography while still in the hospital.
You are having following risk factors for heart diseases.
1. Hypertension
2. Positive family history
3. Abnormal ecg.
So possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) is more in your case. And undiagnosed CAD can lead to Sudden cardiac death. So better to rule out CAD in your case to prevent future serious complication.
So request your doctor to get done coronary angiography while still you are in hospital.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
