I was having shortness of breath. Did every test there was: stress, chemical induced stress, ct scan, calcium scan, wore a heart monitor, mri, X-ray, all over the course of a year. The cardiologist said he couldn’t find anything and released me from care.
One month later I had chest pains, went to the ER, the ER doc didn’t see anything, said I was having heartburn.
My FIL (God love him!) called the head of the hospital that he happened to know, who PDQ got their hot shot 37 yr old cardiologist involved. He ran his own scan and had me rushed to the cath lab where he opened up 2 blockages in the same artery that were each 100% blocked! YIKES! Another 2-3 minutes and I’m dead.
I got 2 stents then, then went back on a month for 2 more in other vessels done outpatient. That was 1 year ago. Doing well now. Coded twice on the table.
My advice, get all the tests you can and use different doctors if you can.
