When You're Experiencing Chest Pains, 5-Mins Can
Make All The Difference!
Chest Pain - can mean many ailments ranging from acid reflux to gas to heart attacks stemming from panic attack and even anxiety. ER Katy has the tools and on-site medical expertise to correctly diagnose.
Chest pain is a symptom we always take seriously.
Of course, not all chest pain is a heart attack or even something serious. But until we know that, we have to be very vigilant.
We absolutely don't want to miss anything serious.
We must examine a patient's presentation and current family history and run certain tests to help determine if something mild or serious is taking place.
Chest Pain can be caused by many different things.
At the same time, not everybody has typical textbook symptoms when their heart muscle isn't getting enough oxygen-carrying blood flow.
Here are a few typical vs. a few atypical symptoms:

Pains, Burns, Attacks, Oh My!
Not every chest pain is a heart attack, and not every heart attack is because of chest pains. Being able to accurately describe what you're feeling to your ER specialist will make all the difference for you or your loved one.
PAINS
Chest pains are not to be ignored as they indicate something in the body is very wrong! Don't dismiss your chest pains; seek immediate medical attention.
Typical
BURNS
Heartburns are typically dismissed as an inconvenience, but chronic heartburn is a warning sign your body requires potential medical attention.
Atypical
ATTACKS
Heart attacks are when the heart muscle becomes starved of oxygen and begins to die due to blood flow to the heart being blocked. Seek immediate medical attention!
Key Symptoms of Heart Attacks
Do not gamble with your life.
If you ever have any of these symptoms without a definite etiology, seek medical attention immediately.
It could be a matter of life or death.

"Had we not taken our son to ER Katy, it's likely he wouldn't have made it through the night!"
"ER Katy Emergency Room saved our son's life. All I can say is that we went to an Urgent Care first, waited a ridiculous amount of time, and after we met [with our nurse we were] sent home. We did not feel comfortable with the "nurse" opinion; he seemed to be getting worse. At 1 AM, we rushed our son to a real doctor at ER Katy in the middle of the night and the doctor (real doctor!) and on-site X-Ray Tech found that my son's liver was cut in half. Had we not taken him to ER Katy (which was very local) it's likely he would not have made it through the night.
They reduced his pain immediately, the staff kept us sane and comfortable. The doctor made calls to transfer him to a specialist. ER Katy Doctors arranged everything. They were perfect, quick, professional, and efficient, and we owe them everything. They have doctors (real emergency room doctors) on staff 24 hours a day. I just thank God for ER Katy."
