Today was my visit with my cardiologist. I am still don't know how to take the results. I had told some of you that I got a call right after my heart test were done. The call was from my Dr's nurse reporting back one of my abnormal test. He went in to tell me how my valve in my heart was not working well. How I neeed to lay low until I saw the Dr. He also went in great detail how my heart should work. Then mention it would need to be fixed with a procedure. So I couldn't get an appointment to go over the test until 2 weeks later. Dr. Was out of town. Ok here the crazy part!
My heart Dr. comes in and tells me oh your echo is normal. He began to keep talking. I was shocked when he used the word normal. I said wait a minute. Why did your nurse call me and tell me my valves were not working right and etc. he says"was he a male nurse called david"? Oh he no longer works here. So now I get the story! This nutty nurse was telling the heart Dr's patients wrong info and lying to patients. I had a hard time trying to focus on the rest of the appointment. All I could think was how could someone do this. You could see he didn't want to get into it too much.
Well on the other hand I still have SOB and chest pain upon inclines. He did pick up some problems with my coronary artery being partially blocked. So I am going to see how much with an angiogram. My breast are causing him to not see the test well. So since I am on Coumadin it's a different approach to doing it. I have to stop my Coumadin for so many days and then take a different kind of thinner in a shot form for several days. So my angiogram is set for next Wednesday.
Don't get me wrong, I am happy I am not having to have a big surgery on my heart. I can live with heart cath. It's still got me frustrated because I was so worried for so long. Thanks for listening to my poor me day! Lol
