At age 47 (2003) I started having some chest pains while at rest. After a couple of weeks of having them, wife insisted I go to the ER one night. EKG, chest x-ray all were normal. Diagnosed as maybe bronchitis, but was told to follow up with my regular Dr. A few days later my regular Dr told me I should see a Cardiologist for a stress test. A few days later I was on the treadmill failing the test horibly. Long story short, later that afternoon I was in the Cath Lab having my 99% blocked right coronary artery balooned and a stent installed. IMO, unless you are having a heart attach, an ER can't diagnose what a cardio stress test can.</p></blockquote><p></p>
