Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Dull Chest Pain

Hi I have intermittent dull chest pain, deep intermittent muscle pain in shoulders, general fatigue, intermittent deep shoulder blade pain, leg weakness, and night sweating. I had borderline EKG this past Tuesday at walk in clinic and sent to ER with EKG that had S wave issue that was concerning. Troponin was normal - went home because my insurance not cover Observation. Still have these issues off and on. My GP has not gotten back to me, and my heart Dr. scheduled appointment for March 20. I don t want repeat of Tuesday, not being able to stay for observation as recommended to me. Should I just wait for a heart attack?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would like to tell you that this dull intermittent pain can be because of underlying heart disease which requires a basic cardiac check up for proper treatment. Kindly get an echocardiography and a treadmill test done. Consult a cardiologist with reports for further management. And avoid excessive physical exertion.
Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
