Hi,
This story happened to me in the past month. i am a 29 year old male. I was experiencing on and off chest and left arm pain for a few months. I had gone to a cardiologist and he preformed an EKG and echocadiogram on me. Both came back negative. he tld me that the pain i was having is probably due to heartburn or a pulled muscle. about a month later i went into cardiac arrest.

I am going through the same thing right now, although I am a female. I am just waiting to go into cardiac arrest. I was just admitted to the hospital for one night discharged for them to say follow up in 2 weeks. I want a heart cath done, but since they aren't finding anything on any of my blood work, EKG's, echo had a stress test in March and holter monitor in March they are just pushing me to the side. Do you have a history of heart problems in your family? Do you have a lot of stress? Do you smoke? I too do not have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or anything. I have good days and bad and when they are bad they are bad. Its a constant pressure, squeezing of my chest but no one will listen to me. I am quite freaked out. I am 34 years old 5'4", 108 lbs. Sorry to hear you had to go through all of this. How was your diet? I do eat pretty bad, but trying to do better.
