Wow, that is so wonderful how the doctors worked together. I also had chest pain and the stress test showed angina. I was put on beta blockers which had terrible side effects until I had an angiogram which showed my heart was fine. I have had FM since 1982 and that was the cause, muscles around the heart squeezing the heart when I exercised.
I don’t tolerate narcotics so I am a huge fan of cyclobenzaprine - it was a lifesaver to help relax my muscles enough to sleep after my pulmonary lobectomy. I only used it for a brief while and discontinued my antidepressant during that period because it can result in seratonin syndrome if taken simultaneously. But it’s amazing. If you are old enough to remember flexoril, which was inexplicably discontinued, this is like that drug.
