<s>[INST] Recently, I had not been feeling well...unusual feelings in my chest although not pain. I visited my family Dr and he did an EKG and said it was abnormal. He scheduled a stress test for me but not for 2 weeks. In the meantime, I developed an absessed tooth and am scheduled to have a root canal in 5 days. I am 52 and have been in good health although I am on 5mg of a blood pressure medicine and 5 mg of a cholesterol medicine. I have some family history with a brother who had a heart attach at 55. Is is dangerous for me to have the root canal before I get the reults of the stress test? [/INST] Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The root canal treatment is a non surgical simple procedure, You can get it done unless your blood pressure is under normal limits. You can continue the medicines for blood pressure and consult a endodontist and get the treatment done. Stress test has nothing to do with root canal treatment.I hope my answer will help you, take care. </s>
