I had slight pain in the centre of my chest an ECG was done on me. Everything was ok but I still have this like a sensation of pressure,

and the pressure on my chest can last most of the day after exercise should I go back to my GP

[daisyd]

Yes, I would and if it gets worse phone an ambulance

[Thailand24 in reply to daisyd]

Thanks for you reply I'm off to my GP tomorrow and demand more test be done

Don't trust EKGs. I had a heart attack and my EKG was normal. Thank God I went to ER and not to a clinic or to my regular MD. At the ER I was given a blood test and the results confirmed I had a heart attack. Go to Emergency - don't wait. Better safe than sorry.

[Thailand24 in reply to cypress]

Thanks for your reply I will go and see my Gp again and ask for more test to be done

[rogbert]

Hi,

There are many factors, age, sex, BP ,Cholesterol and many more. You need to go for a 12 lead ECG and an ultra sound check. Please do not leave it for too long. There are private health screening available for less than £200.00, very good, do a Google for Blue Crest.

When you are in the gym what is the starting heart rate and what is it after 8 minutes? on cool down how long does it take for heart rate to come down to your starting point? Have been informed by a professor that this is a quick and best method of checking your heart function!!!

[Thailand24 in reply to sandybrown]

Thanks for your advice I will see my GP soon

How much exercise do you usually do and are you prone to indigestion. It never hurts to check things out.

[Thailand24 in reply to 2squirrels]

I can exercise 3 days a week for about 30 mins on the tread mill and I do a bit of weights as well and I have had indigestion before but Thanks I will have myself checked out

Prima facie appears to be a case of angina. Consult a cardiologist.

Hi have you been to the Doctors yet?

Hope you got on ok

[Thailand24 in reply to daisyd]

Yes I went yesterday and he gave me some Aspirin 75Mg and a spray called Glyceryi Trinitrate Spray and today I went the hospital and had another ECG test and blood was taken so now its a waiting game for 10 days Thanks

If you have any serious pains in your chest get medical treatment immediately . I had a Bluecrest Health Screening which is great for preventing disease, but is not a replacement for medical emergencies.
