I had an appointment with my cardiologist yesterday. I told him about my lightheadedness, chest pains, and low blood pressure. He said I should have contacted him at the beginning of my symptoms. He was right; I should have called him.
I briefly told him about my appointment with my PCP. He was pleased that I didn’t stop taking any of my heart medication. However, he did change the dosage for one of my meds, which was cool because he was the heart doctor.
He stated that my lightheadedness could be a sign that I was dehydrated. I don’t drink enough water, so that may be the reason. He also suggested my chest pains could be from my RA.
I get it. No one can be exact about my chest pains. I have been having the same chest pains for over 20 years. So, maybe it is my RA because I was diagnosed with heart disease in 2016. As I have stated before, I can’t differentiate the pains in my chest. Is it my heart, or is it my RA?
Well, I do have some good news. I left my cardiologist’s office yesterday feeling good because my heart was doing well. So, well, my next cardiac appointment is in a year. Isn’t God good? Until the next post, be blessed.
