dh and i consulted dr. google, and it is clear that the good doctor thinks i have angina.

yes, i am making an appt to see a 4realz dr, not a healer or any of that nonsense.  i'm a western medicine girl.

**Stinky!**

Any other aches or pains accompanying the chest pains?

I've posted on here before about how I feel about women and a lot of cardiologists. They very often will put you off and say its just stress because of age. If you don't feel comfortable after you see 1 keep going to others until you do. If I listened to the 1st one I'd be dead instead of having a triple by-pass at 32. I'm not trying to freak you out either I just feel very passionate about this subject. I hope yours is just heartburn or something.

pk, no worries.  i've dealt with a lot of drs, and i'm not really a "... if you say so" kind of girl.

Good. Now don't put off going. If they offer get them to give a moniter to wear and a nuclear or MRI stress test. Plain old stress tests won't really show anything unless you have pain at that moment, or had major damage already.
