Heart Disease and Heart Attack Answer A4570
Current medical status: chest discomfort,always starts when some energatic activity begin. walking in the morning even slowly,feel discomfort across the chest to a degree that feel the urge to stop and take a rest. continuing in spite of discomfort for 15-20 min.,then the status becomes easey and after the normality restores,I can carry on for hours.
Current medical treatment: medications taking: Atrovastatin 20 daily one Nitroglycerin 6.4 three daily Propraol 20 Asprin80 daily one.

Your symptoms (“ chest discomfort that starts when energetic activities begin”) can be due to either coronary heart disease or a malfunction of the pacemaker (“battery”).

You may need another coronary stress-test and angiography to check your coronary status. You can also check the function of the pacemaker you wear.
