Hi All,
I've been having a lot more chest pain and tightness, strange heart rhythms, dizziness, and trouble breathing lately than i normally do... and these past few days it's been especially bad. I've got some serious fatigue issues as well, a headache that just won't go away, and it hurts pretty bad when i take a deep breath.
My next appointment at the cardiologist isn't until late April. I called his office yesterday, and his nurse relayed a message from him that i should take more atenolol and he'd move my appointment up to the end of March. That's the best they said they could do.
Aside from the fact that i have a cardiologist who never wants to see me or talk to me, and is soon to make my list of 'you're fired' doctors...
Is this something i should go to the ER to have checked out? I feel like i need to do something today. I've never been certain as to how bad you're supposed to let things get before you to to the emergency room, and i don't want to go up there and get treated like i'm wasting their time.
Thanks,
Jim
