It would be nice if there was an inexpensive non-invasive way to scan for coronary blockages, not saying that this is what happened to her.
I wonder if she had a family history of heart disease? This is your biggest risk factor. Do not ignore symptoms. There is a CAT scan of your heart that can detect calcium deposits in your arteries and help determine how much atherosclerosis you have. It is better than a stress test. Your doctor has to order it and you may have to pay out of pocket. About a $100 well spent.
