KN>    I have to go into hospital for tests the next weeks. I have
KN>been having chest pains. I had EKG today and that came back all
KN>okay. I have to be at hospital on 5/15, for routine
KN>Echocariogram. Again on 5/20, for Thallium stress test. They are
KN>both scheduled for 8:45a.m. Dr. thinks it maybe stress but he
KN>wants to make sure.
Used to have chest pains when I was drinking what I figured was
moderately.  After I quit drinking, no more of that.  Went to several
cardiologists who gave me a clean bill of health, ran EKG strips later
on myself with still no problems showing.
Stress can cause chest pains and other symptoms.  There are many ways to
be stressed without drugs or alcohol.  It is very useful to tell the
doctor everything you do and exactly what you eat each day.  If he
doesn't know about remedial diets, ask for a referral to someone who
does.
KN>    Prayers appreciated.
Consider it done, and good luck to you.
