Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain
Hi there, was taken into hospital by ambulance with chest pain. I am 48 years old, didnt feel good all day. Woke with chest pain, which disappeared, later that evening chest pain became more severe. Arrival to hospital, after blood test my triponin level was 10 at 10am, then a further test was given at 1am and my triponin level went up to 1,500. My heart was tested with an angiogram, no damage was done. I then had a check to make sure i did not have a lung clot, all was negative. Why did i have such high triponin in my blood?

Troponin is a cardiac enzyme which is raised during heart attack and falls after heart attack.Probably your chest pain would have been relieved by medical treatment. As your angiogram does not reveal any block in the coronary arteries you might not be suffering from serious heart disease and that is why you were not subjected to angioplasty. However you should be carefully followed for controlling the risk factor such as hypertension, diabetes and cholesterol etc. To avoid heart attack in future.
