What Causes Heart Attack?
49yo female. Recent 12 lead ECG test displayed I had a heart attack. Believe it happened few nights prior, waking me out of sleep. Had warning sign of heartburn sensation but didn t realize it until after the fact. Had an echocardio gram that showed no blockage. Have a stress test scheduled but if echo showed no blockage (taken when body at rest, as it was when I thought I had a heart attack)...do I really need to do the stress test??... thinking what I thought was a heart attack, may really only be a sleep disorder experience

Your age is very pron for heart diseases....symptoms of gastritis and heart attack are very much simmilar....if ecg shows that you had heart attack then thete is full pisibillity of it.....it might be mild....but to prevent future attack it is needed to do stress test and take medication accordingly.......you may go for elective angiography if indicated after stress test
