When I landed in the hospital for the weekend back in early May. They never did come up with any answers for me. They tested and tested me for everything they could think of that might be causing the symptoms. To no avail. Once the symptoms were gone they never came back and left no residual effects. So I was sent home thinking that, that was a one-off situation, just like a mini stroke I had 20 years ago.
But that wasn't to be the case. In late June, those same symptoms returned. I used my Nitroglycerin as instructed and waited and watched for them to pass, which they did. Fortunately I had an appointment with my family doctor the next week, for a totally unrelated matter. When I saw him, that unrelated matter got put on the back burner and we discussed the return of my still undiagnosed symptoms. He immediately referred me to a very good Cardiologist.
I saw the Cardiologist on August the 8th, and he feels this needs further investigating. His exact words were, "You're not going to have a heart attack on my watch." So, here I am with two appointments with St. Boniface Hospital for pre-Angiogram on August 20th, which I have already dealt with and an Angiogram procedure and August 28th.
I must say I really love our health care system. When you really have something wrong with you, that Doctors view as serious, it gets dealt with. I've never had a problem with wait-times, that I hear other people gripe about, unless it's with my Dermatologists or my Chiropodists.
