What Causes Elevation In Troponin Levels Having A History Of Anxiety?
Hello! I was hospitalized for 2 days with elevated troponin levels 0.07 then0.04 and went back to 0.06 during the night. My last EKG showed sinus tachycardia nonspecific st and t wave abnormality more prominent when compared with ECG with questionable changes in the t axis t wave inversion now evident in inferior which said leads to confirmed. I had a cardiac cath which was clear. I originally thought it was severe muscle strain in left shoulder which I saw a chiropractor and could feel the pain when being adjusted and also said I severe knots in the back. I left with cardiologist saying nothing was wrong or no angina bit after seeing family doctor stated I had printzmetal angina and was prescribed aspirin and corgard 2x daily. I am very concerned and not sure if I need second opinion. I have a history of stress/anxiety along with family heart disease . I am also a smoker and have been under alot of stress. Any answers would be appreciated!!
