letter from cardiologist

[Manhattan1]

a couple of months ago i was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroidism.. but also discovered i’ve had an abnormal thyroid since 2017, the year my chest discomfort started!.. after a CT angiogram in 2020 mild atherosclerosis was discovered.. keep taking anti anginal meds said a lovely female cardiologist.. 5 months later invasive angiogram because first was wasn’t very clear.. result? mild atherosclerosis.. stop taking anti anginal meds says male Cardiologist 🤣.. 3 weeks ago was advised by a few posters here and by BHF nurse to inform male Cardiologist about my Hashimoto diagnosis.. letter today from Cardiologist.. ummm yes.. it could be causing anginal symptoms on exertion 😂.. wait and see what happens when thyroid meds are started.. problem is.. i might not be put on thyroid meds.. but at least i now know i’ve not been imagining the chest discomfort when walking up inclines or walking briskly

Hello

It certainly does confirm you are not imagining things

Have you started the thyroid meds yet ?

I hope you are getting on ok x

Hello

At one stage my thyroid was going a little strange and so they kept an eye on it seems to be ok now so fingers crossed for you when you have your blood test done

Let us know how you get on x
