I was hoping to have a real update for you (and me!) today, but I haven't heard back from the cardiology office yet, so not much has happened here. I do feel better today... but I do take a pain pill when the pain gets too out of control (which is usually once a day), so it's hard to tell if there's really any change. Today was a little surreal in that I felt the same as I've felt for quite a while, but the mere idea that it could be heart related, rather than hormonal made things quite a bit more stressful. I'm trying for the most part not to think about it (that's probably the real reason for the belated update! Sorry!). I do have a feeling that it's more likely to be a thyroid thing than a heart thing (at least that's what I'm hoping!). I just wish I'd asked more questions when the doctor was so worried about the EKG results... I was so surprised that they weren't good, that I didn't really say anything.
I will be calling the cardiology office tomorrow (despite the "don't call us we'll call you) and if I don't get a hold of them I'll start looking at the doctor's offices that are further away. I'll post an update when I have an appointment! Hopefully that will be soon!

Have they checked your gallbladder? I have been having the same type of pain for awhile now...it's horrible! I finally told my doctor (I have a lot of distrust of doctors so I put it off for way too long) and it turns out I have gallstones. The pain often makes me think I'm having a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteI never get calls back, not for good news, nor for bad news. If I did not call and call again for the reports I would die without knowing what was in the tests-- the competence and work ethic of the staffs in doctors offices in my area ranges from excellent to so low I wonder how the doctors can STAND to be paying such lazy people!
ReplyDeletePraying for you Cam! I would think that if it were serious, they Dr would call back ASAP or your Dr would have gotten you an appt ASAP. When my youngest had a potentially life threatening heart issue, our pediatrician call the cardiologist and made the appt for me.
