breathless

[Anxietymadman]

so I went the drs and just got out they said lungs sound fine, obs are perfect oxygen 99/100 and blood pressure and heart rate are perfect, and to not worry about the slight chest pain or arm pain or breathless I get, everything sounds fine, would anyone go for a second opinion, can drs really know I’m okay just by listening to my lungs and taking my obs?

Inquire about a referral to a cardiologist. The gold standard is the Angiogram, which can show you how well your blood is flowing through your blood vessels and arteries ($5,000-$7,000 in the States), and usually performed after abnormalities are found while doing other heart tests such as an EKG, Echocardiogram, Stress Test, 24 hr. Holter Monitor, or Ultrasound.

I have had countless amount of EKGs, exhodiograms in the past when something similar happened so they said it’s nothing to worry about, also if I went private it would cost a lot :/
