Finally got an apology from my Cardiologist. He didn’t acknowledge that he tried to pass my concerns off as anxiety in my records but he did actually say the words “I’m sorry” in regards to not finding the answer when there clearly was one and that’s such a rare pleasure in the chronic illness world. He also took down my Rheumatologists info so he can refer his patients there so maybe there’s hope for the next young woman who comes looking for answers.
The appointment was short and he skillfully avoided my questions about if the inflammation would have shown up on the echo or CT but at least he seemed genuinely happy I found a solution in the end and I don’t have to have any more appointments with him.

CNN's Reiner got Covid WRONG but he's qualified to critique Catherine's medical case. 🤪

My cardiologist said he doesn't believe in the diagnosis of POTS but that if ever told anyone they had it, it would be me. He claims it's just semantics and just a collection of symptoms that a lot of people have. (Yes, that is what the S stands for, syndrome, a collection of symptoms). Too many people have it for him to think it's important. He also told me he would not diagnose me with POTS because he doesn't want to give me a label and make me think I'm important or special because I have a syndrome. He did not like me telling him that I passed the "oh no, I might have a syndrome!" point when I was sent to the geneticist the 1st time. Why does he think I'm there? I've been going there once a year for the past 3 years to get an echo to make sure my aorta doesn't fall off because of my genetic conditions. So yeah, giving me a POTS diagnosis is going to give me a complex. He won't write down that I have POTS, so my other doctors will be aware, but he has no problem writing down that I have orthostatic hypotension and vasovagal syncope and never telling me. I noticed it was written in my chart one day, but he never talked to me about it. If he would write down that I have tachycardia then maybe every single time I go to another doctor and they get vitals they wouldn't freak out about my heart rate to which I have to explain that it's in my normal that I have tachycardia. I hate my cardiologist, and I'm trying to get into a new one soon that will take me seriously and not just say I need to drink more water. Because of this whole mess I don't know what to tell other doctors. I also don't know if I have a fibromyalgia diagnosis because I saw a rhumatologist once. He told me I have fibromyalgia and never talked to me again. I have no idea if he marked it in my chart or whatever doctors do for a diagnosis or not. So yeah, don't be an asshole to people without a diagnosis because it's a really complex mess of a cluster fuck.

Visit to the Cardiologist
I had my appointment with the Cardiologist this morning. He said there’s nothing to worry about as I’m not having any symptoms like chest pain, fatigue, or dizziness. My aorta has a minuscule enlargement but that is nothing to worry about as it’s such a small enlargement. He said to come back in a year and he’ll monitor the aorta for any change.
Woo-Hoo for good news!

In a bustling teaching hospital, Emma anxiously awaited her cardiovascular examination. She had been aware of her bicuspid aortic valve, a congenital condition where the heart's aortic valve had only two cusps, instead of the usual three, since she was a child. Lately, she had been experiencing occasional chest pain and shortness of breath, prompting her cardiologist, Dr. Miller, to recommend a comprehensive cardiovascular examination.
Dr. Miller, a seasoned cardiologist known for his enthusiasm for teaching, entered the room with a warm smile. "Hello, Emma," he greeted her kindly. "I understand you've been having some concerns about your heart. Today, we'll not only address your condition but also give our medical students here a valuable learning opportunity."
Emma looked toward the door, where several medical students had gathered. Their faces showed a mix of excitement and curiosity. She nodded, appreciating Dr. Miller's dedication to educating the next generation of healthcare professionals.
Dr. Miller began by reviewing Emma's medical history, focusing on her bicuspid aortic valve and any recent symptoms. Emma described her discomfort and how it had led her to seek medical attention.
After discussing her history, Dr. Miller proceeded with a physical examination. He started by carefully listening to Emma's heart using his stethoscope. His experienced ears picked up the distinct murmur caused by the bicuspid aortic valve. It was like a gentle, swishing sound that accompanied each heartbeat.
As Dr. Miller listened, he turned to the medical students. "Now, listen closely, everyone," he said, encouraging them to gather around. "This is a classic example of a murmur associated with a bicuspid aortic valve. It's a bit like a soft, continuous whooshing noise, and it's usually best heard in this particular area of the chest."
Emma observed as the medical students listened carefully, each one taking their turn with the stethoscope. They nodded in recognition, grateful for the hands-on experience.
Dr. Miller continued his examination, explaining each step to the students. He checked Emma's blood pressure, pulse, and examined her chest for any visible signs of strain or irregularities. Throughout the examination, he engaged the students in discussions about the bicuspid aortic valve and its potential implications.
To gain a more comprehensive understanding of Emma's heart, Dr. Miller ordered an echocardiogram, a non-invasive ultrasound test that would provide detailed images of her heart's structure and function. The medical students gathered around as the technician performed the test. Dr. Miller pointed out the unique features of Emma's bicuspid aortic valve, explaining how it differed from a typical tricuspid valve.
Once the echocardiogram was complete, Dr. Miller discussed the findings with Emma. "Your bicuspid aortic valve seems to be functioning well," he explained. "However, it's essential for us to monitor it regularly due to its unique structure. We'll continue to work together to ensure your heart remains healthy."
Dr. Miller then invited the medical students to join Emma for an exercise stress test to assess how her heart responded to physical exertion. Emma agreed, and the group moved to the treadmill room. As Emma walked on the treadmill, her heart rate and EKG were closely monitored. The students observed, learning how to interpret the data and assess cardiac performance during exercise.
Once the stress test concluded, Dr. Miller reviewed the data with Emma and the students. "Your heart responded quite well during the exercise," he said, addressing the students. "This is a testament to the adaptability of the heart and the importance of regular monitoring for patients like Emma."
Emma left the hospital that day with a sense of reassurance and a smile. Dr. Miller's commitment to educating future healthcare professionals had turned her examination into an opportunity to not only care for her heart but also contribute to medical knowledge. As she stepped out of the hospital, she knew that her unique condition would continue to be a source of learning and understanding for both her and the medical students she had met along the way.

Cardiology appointment was a success!
Tumblr media
Big thanks to @doomspaniels for sharing their experience & knowledge with me. It really helped me put together a convincing presentation. My Cardiologist was happy to order an Echocardiogram + Bubble Study. Hopefully it will shed some light on why my blood oxygen has been dropping so much. He said if they don’t find a big enough hole to “justify” the low blood oxygen then he’ll send me to a lung specialist to see if it’s something else but fingers crossed we get some answers soon 🤞

Mandana was awesome and she had a blast. She has really been enjoying these appointments. My only complaint was that she was whining a little during my apt when I was talking to the doctor. I can’t really blame her for that because I was ignoring her alerts and when my Cardiologist stopped to check my heart rate sure enough she was spot on!

Health Scare
On Tuesday while sitting in my office I suddenly had a skipped heartbeat and a really hard tug feeling in my heart, and immediately after a really painful tight pressure. And since then I've had palpitations non-stop. I have had palpitations before but its always just a single one and then not again for a few months.
This was like 3-11 palpitations in a minute for hours throughout the last two days. I was thinking maybe I had too much caffeine so I waited two days. I finally called my primary care this morning, they had me to go the urgent care, the urgent care sent me to the ER.
Thankfully everything came up clear. But my primary will likely have me go to the cardiologist to get a holter monitor and be assessed. Because while my labs and x-rays are clear, my heart rate has not dropped and the palpitations are still going.
Because of my anxiety, my heart rate has always been elevated when I'm not at rest. Though these last few days it's been elevated when I'm at rest as well. But I have come to be desensitized to my heart rate being high. The doctor's in the ER however, were not amused. I laughed at them for being shocked. Sorry guys.
But anyway, I really have to get serious about improving my health again. I'm too young to be having these scares.
