I am a mother of two boys, ages 8 and 5. My life pretty much revolves around them at this point! I like to run, read, and just enjoy time with my family. I've been married almost 14 years, which is amazing to me. I love Penn State football. Go PSU!!

An echocardiogram can detect problems that an EKG and stress test cannot. Since your symptoms include signs of a heart attack, I hope your doctor would feel the echo necessary.

Good luck with it.
