Just a little update.
I'm off for a CT scan later today, arranged by the arrogant cardiologist, who is determined to prove himself right, that my arteries are "beautifully pristine".
So, I'm guessing by what I've read, that nothing to do with MVA or possible vasospasm will show up. And definitely nothing to do with indigestion, which the arrogant cardiologist thinks has given me so much trouble over the last 6 years, as MVA doesn't exist in his world.
Should be an interesting day! 😐
My arrogant cardiologist doesn't want to find MVA though, that would prove him wrong. He'd have to accept it's existence and go learn about it.
I had a similar situation 2 years ago. My ct scan showed zero calcification despite my symptoms and the cardiologist sent me home with aspirin and statin even though my cholestrol ratio was 1.7.
After several incidents of chest pain in january my Gp referred me again and Im now on a six week wait for another scan. Even experienced cardiologiststs seem slow to acknowledge microvascular angina. Do update us with your results !
I've been fighting this off and on for 6 years, unfortunately, my GP left and the one I have now doesn't support MVA, she will refer me to another cardiologist for a second opinion, but there's no guarantee that he/she will be any better, (at least he/she couldn't be any worse).
As I said on another post though, all the time they're denying the existence of MVA, they're not trying to find an alternative, it's just going in circles. Dr, ECG, cardiologist, Dr, ecg, cardiologist.........?
Perhaps that's where I'm going wrong, I should try speaking bs, he might understand ☺
My 84yr old mother was was told by one snooty hip specialist that she had the hips of a 16yr old and asked her if she danced? My mother was nearly in tears with the pain and that buffoon doctor couldn’t see he was so far wrong. Then a week later they did another scan to be sure and was put down for emergency hip replacement surgery; that first doctor got it so wrong and it’s lessened her trust in these people who think they know everything. There are some very good specialists in the NHS but there are bad ones too. Three years ago my mother had the surgery and is painfree after a 15 month wait.
I know what you mean, one told my partner, who's quite frail, if she keeps getting chest infections/pneumonia, she'll die.
And a nurse, when she heard my partner was going for a particular type of scan, told her "they check you for cancer with those" . It as actually nothing to do with that
If you feel like that about him ask to see another one. You can say that you don't get along as a reason.
My health has always taken a back seat because my partner's health is deteriorating and she needs so much care, even with a care plan in place and 2 visits a day for 45 minutes. I've had some real battles when she has seen doctors and consultants. As her main carer, you'd think I'd at least be listened to, even if they then dismiss what I say. She had a major MS relapse 2014 which left her quadriplegic for a while and only partially recovered after 5 months of hospital and rehab stay.
Made my problem pretty insignificant till a flare up just before Christmas.
Tbh, I'm worn out with trying to be heard.
But I'll keep fighting till someone takes notice.
We have. Support for her is very good, but we try and Ballance things so there isn't too much of an intrusion (if that's the right word). We still want a life, some support etc want to take it over. We try and stay as independent as possible. I think we could have far more for her than we do.
The amount of assistance I need for her has increased over time, and will continue to because my MVA has become more debilitating.
Sorry, didnt reply here 😏, its below.
just curious as to what happened with your angio results
