I'm getting a nasty feeling of pressure in my chest when I exercise or do physical work. Even a 50 yard walk or a little bit of pruning brings it on. When I do get it it eases after 15 - 20 minutes of rest but leaves a slight feeling of pressure and weakness for the rest of the day.
I'm due to have the procedure to inject dye and map the coronary arteries to check for blockages or narrowing. I'm not convinced this is the cause of the pressure, nor is my Cardiologist, but at least it will confirm or rule out one possibility.
My biggest concern is whether it will bring on an Afib episode, either by the presence of the catheter in the heart or the nervousness I know I will have about the procedure.
Any experiences by anyone who has had the procedure or has any advice will be, as always, very much appreciated.
