Chest pain continues

I had a heart cath done a month ago due to ongoing chest pain after my pacemaker implant. The cath showed no blockages so told to get stress under control.....
I am on Zoloft and it has helped a lot but still have chest pain at times. Also taking prilosec in case heartburn is part of it.
I assume I don't need to worry about the chest pain being my heart now???? Feeling abandoned by my heart Doc right now.😔

chest pain

Hi, Cindi
You are obviously concerned. Chest pain should never be left undiagnosed. You seem to no lon ger believe your current medical care is responsive, a red flag for at least a second opinion. Also, please do not add medication to treat a possible problem that may not be the actual problem. All medication has an effect on us from insignificant to life threatening. A complete physical would be a good idea if you have not had one lately. Whatever direction you choose next, just please do not ignore the pain. Hope to hear you have a diagnosis and are feeling much more like yourself soon.

Hi, Lisa
Hope you get your chest pain evaluated also. Your pain may or not be heart/device related. While it is normal to experience various sensations like tenderness, pulling, some pain, etc. after our procedures, pain severe enough to feel as though you are experiencing a heart attack is not one of them. Severe and/or lingering pain is your body telling you something is not right. Please listen to your body.

Yeah that's what I think I feel like something isn't right either but I was just told to be aka meds for my extra beats. Not a great solution.

I also have chest pain below where my pacemaker is and at times it's really bad especially when I'm driving. I feel like I'm having a heartattack. I have been told that my pacemaker is working great so I'm ok. I am 5 weeks post op.
