Q: Request For Help With Severe Pain In the Chest, Ekg Enclosed

Request for help with severe pain in the chest, ekg enclosed. Thank you.


Hi, my name is alex and for about two years I have been suffering recurring episodes of pressure, shortness of breath and severe pains in the chest, going out to the back shoulders and neck, lasting for about a week. After which, I have discomfort in the chest area until the episode begins again. Recently, the episodes are getting much worse.


If anyone who has any experience interpreting ekgs could do me small favor and take a look at my ekg which i've scanned in and converted to a jpeg I would be very grateful. This sickness is taking over my life, and I would be ever so grateful for any clue as to what is happening to me.


thank you,
alex

Chest Pain
Hi
what does the doctor say about this? Could this be stress,if your ekg is normal,and he has run all the tests? How old are you? Most doctors run tests according to age,family history,etc? They usually like to do an ultrasound,and holter monitor,and stress test,have you had any of these? If the stress comes out abnormal,then a heart catheter. You haven't said where you had any of these or not.
