What Causes Pain And Heaviness In Chest?
I am having chest pain and a feeling of heaviness in my chest regularly when I am not on plavix. I have had a stent and angioplasty on one heart vessel. I am uninsured and have not seen a cardiologist since the procedure more than two years ago. What do you think? BTW plavix relieves the pressure and the pain but I am out.
