I finally found peace and my permanent heart doctors. For those of you who remember my cardiologist was blaming my neurologists and then troubleshooting what could be wrong. While I kept falling, dizzy, loss feeling in my leg and collapsed. I was really frustrated my progress was a longer journey and although I was sincerely happy for patients who quickly recovered I was not happy mine journey was longer. I tried hard to remain hopeful and became my own advocate had every test they could think of. I understand the concept of having to figure things out but the amount of test were not coming up with negative had results. Guessing and playingbtrouble shooting was not working 2nd option, I went to a cardiologist associated with st Francis hospital, he was funny personably and most important read my results and went to my cholesterol level that was way too high. My primary doc had me on cholesterol medicine but he wanted something stronger, also has me drink so much water before getting out of bed, water before lunch, water before dinner , I’m up yo a gallon and 1:2 a week. The slight tricuspid valve regurgitation is not bad and to be expected . He went thorough my stenosis results and my second set of blood work, cholesterol was 1/2 of what it was in normal range. Apparently his brother also works in the same building and is also a cardiologist either st Francis. So I told his brother he would be my backup doctor if something had to his brother I was in the middle of two amazing cardiologist, like the double mint commercial. but he’s best part was I will see you next year. Call me any time you have a problem, he meant it. Not happy being on those hugh shots, and pills but I do feel better. Sorry for the long post, just don’t give up and always be your own advocate my journey final turned positive.for now. Got other things to check but I got to finally not make this my main doctor visit. Like Anna put in her post please be safe Work has been difficult and I have a friend gravely ill, so I haven’t been posting but I didn’t forget the support
