BLACK OUT

[Garym6]

good morning all, firstly thank you to this site, i find the posts very informative.On Friday i blacked out query blood clot in lung, i was released from hospital on Sunday with no follow up, my history is i had a pci stent fitted last May, i havent felt well since, i still havent done cardiac rehab as i havent been well enough in their opinion.

I had a 7 day holter monitor fitted 6 weeks ago and this showed up some irregular heart beats but "not worrysome" i still feel like passing out most times i stand up, feel exhausted and have pains in my legs as well as feeling like my legs are made of lead.

I am at the end of my tether with feeling ill, i cant work and now feel like they are saying theres nothing wrong with me, i see my cardiologist on 4th July.

Any advice on a way forward please as right now my future looks bleak....

Hi there, I am in the USA, but felt the need to reply.

I can't offer much, but I certainly wish you better health and an easier time with a diagnosis.

I know July 4th seems like a long wait, but in the meantime, try to remain as stress free as possible. Do breathing exercises, meditate, get enough rest, keep your mind busy, and definitely reach out. There are so many people that care & have had similar experiences, it certainly helps to share!

It may take being your own advocate and being firm and persistent with the doctors to make them understand how you feel. It took years before I was taken seriously, it's a pity actually.

Please keep the faith, and keep us updated!
