468 -- I could have written your message. I have written many on this board. I started out with what I think were chest pains also. Went to cardiologist. She put me on Atenolol (for Palps). I think it made the chest pain worse, but I continued to take the medication. She ran all tests, to include nuclear stress test, echogram, heart monitor, etc. (no heart cath). I to this day still have what I call "heart pain" on the left. It never stops. I went to gastro doctor. Had endoscope. He said I had H Pylori stomach infection. Treated with antibiotics. Still have the heart pain. Then I asked for HIDA scan on gallbladder. As it turns out gallbladder was not functioning. Had it removed about 5 days ago. I still have this "heart pain". I really hoped removing the gallbladder and maybe bile or something was causing it. Not! This morning I'm nauseated. I'm not having a good day. I'm so tired of this heart pain. I've had it for 7 months. It never seems to go away. My life has come to a standstill trying to get this controlled or stopped. I have even thought of a "heart cath" as I don't know what else to do. I'm going to call the gastro doctor and ask him about putting me back on antibiotics. Maybe the H Pylori infection hasn't cleared. I do not know if it is gastro related, bile related, or what. If you ever find something that helps yours, please let me know. A friend of mine said Zantac seemed to help her. I've tried all but Zantac. Guess I'll try it to.
