No where closer to answers

Well I played phone tag with my PCP's office all day but I finally got ahold of my PCP and what did the results say...

NEGATIVE!

The labs all came back normal. She asked if I was still feeling fatigued and I saud yes and that I was going to be talking to my Cardiologist about it tomorrow. She asked if I had any questions and I said no and then we hung up.

Now after I hung up I felt a lot of things.Relief that my labs were normal but also so frustrated. I didn't want there to be anything wrong but if there was something wrong in my labs than it wasn't cardiac related. Now I'm freaking out that it could be cardiac related. My mechanical valve is supposed to last 25-30 years and it's only been 6 1/2 so it better not be that. The other option is that it could be my pulmonary stenosis worsening. I know for a fact the worsening of Pulmonary Stenosis has fatigue as a symptom.


I am so thankful that I have my cardiology appointment tomorrow. I actually hope he schedules a cath. Of course I don't want to be in the hospital (It's gonna be a different hospital because my old hospital does not take my insurance anymore) But I also really want some answers. I need to feel better.

-Fatigue
-Low energy
-Occaisional chest pain
-Pounding heart

Those four symptoms are not fun and they have come on in the past four months.

Please pray that I get answers tomorrow at my cardiology appointment and that I am put on the road to recovery soon,whatever that road may involve.
