[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 641615, member: 1233"] I am proud of you for getting the testing done. Even though the doctor 'highly doubts' that you have any heart problems, it is still critical that you see the cardiologist. They test things and see things in EKGs that reg docs just don't. been there done that back when the pediatrician told us that J had a heart problem where the first visible symptom seen with-o an EKG is dropping dead. SOOOO much fun to hear as a parent - NOT! We freaked and then they wanted us to wait four MONTHS before seeing a cardio or getting any treatment because the cardios here were 'busy'. I cried on the phone to the scheduler at the pediatrician cardio and we got worked in the next day. I didn't do it on purpose, I was THAT scared. So I trust anyone but a cardio to diagnosis heart problems as much as I trust the bus driver to operate on me. That was our third experience with a non-cardiologist giving us totally incorrect info and diagnosis about a heart problem or lack thereof. So PLEASE don't put this visit off. I am sorry you are in such pain. Are you doing anything other than OTC aspirin? As for the weight, I am sorry it is such a battle. [/QUOTE]
