Hello @ktell, Welcome to Connect. I'm not sure that @tplefka is still following Connect. The member last posted in 2021 in this discussion here -- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/597173/.
Has your husband thought about seeking help at a major teaching hospital or health facility like Mayo Clinic?

Hello, thank you for the reply; he saw a cardiologist at Stanford and he wasn’t able to provide any insight. Currently trying to get him an angiogram to rule out a real cardiac issue. He keeps going to the ER (at home, and we also went in Oregon a few weeks ago when we were on vacation); they run all the necessary tests and rule out a heart attack and nothing changes or helps. If we just called the cardiology Sept at the Mayo Clinic could we get an appointment?

Hi,
I live near Philadelphia with good doctors. My cardiologist could not give me a definite diagnosis for my chest pain, he encouraged me to go to Mayo Clinic. In Rochester MN they performed more tests and a more detailed catherization, and gave me a specific diagnosis.
Your cardiologist should encourage you to go to a teaching/research hospital specializing in chest pain to get a clearer diagnosis. It was worth the trip for me.
