Im 20F with a long standing family history of heart failure. Ive had intermittent chest pains due to chronic Tachycardia but last night it was unbearable and I went to the ER because I thought I might be having a heart attack. I waited approximately 2 hours after initial onset to leave work bc another manager needed to be present. My mistake but I eventually shut down the store out of fear and went. My ECG was flagged abnormal for nonspecific T wave abnormalities on the inferior leads. But thats always on my ECG. However the hr recorded was 72. My avg resting hr is 98. Could I have had a cardiac event that ended before I got to the hospital? negative D Dimer low average Lactase and high PT (12) and PTT (54) INR 1.1. Chest X Ray clear. Should I push for a cardiology referral given family history? or was it likely a fluke?
