WPW, Chest Discomfort After Heavy Drinking, All Tests Negative. Normal?
I have been having chest pain along with sob after a night of heaving drinking. I went to my pcp and he said that my heart sounds good, 2v cxr clear, and a rainbow of labs all neg. I currently take metoprolol 50mg QID for a diagnosis of WPW . I have heard heard from others that it is common to have this chest discomfort after drinking, but I have never experienced this before. Is there more I should do to make sure it s not a heart issue?

you did not provide all the details. However you should take a immediate consultation of a cardiologist to be on the safer side.
