I went to the Arkansas Heart Hospital Clinic this morning
for an echocardiogram (ECG) and a chemical stress test. I
wanted to find out if my chest pain was heart related or
not.

Well, apparently, it's caused by acid reflux...as no
blockage was found. While I'm classed as overweight and
obese by my body mass index, at least my heart is good.

I had a treadmill stress test about 6 weeks ago due to chest pains. Mine
was also caused by acid reflux as well as pinched nerves. Some physical therapy really helped the latter.

I passed the stress test, too. :)

Mike,

From what I understand, the nerves that trigger angina for a heart
attack are the same ones triggered by acid reflux. Those pinched nerves
are no fun.

I passed the stress test, too. :)

At least it wasn't like the cartoon, where this woman is "tied up in a chair", and "wired for sound". The doctor tells her "We've got a new,
more reliable stress test. No more huffing and puffing on a treadmill".

What the lady doesn't realize is that there's a bag full of spiders up
above her head, and an evil eyed nurse is about to "cut it loose".

I'd crap my pants and have a heart attack if that was done to me!! :P

Yes on both counts. :)
