I started physical therapy Last week. I'm going in twice a week for 4 weeks. Keeping me busy.
My mom returned from Thanksgiving with a sinus infection that she so kindly shared with me. I've had it for nearly 2 weeks now. Last Tuesday, my dr put me on antibiotics. They're drying me out, but it's still wearing me down.
I met with the pulmonologist & everything checked out clean. She referred me off to cardiology for a work up. They'll be looking for cardio pulmonary hypertension. This scares me. I'm 31, I feel too young to have heart problems. They'll also be able to look into my high triglycerides. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise.
I called my dr yesterday. I was having chest pain. They told me to hang up & call 911. Which I refused to do. I didn't want to go to the ER, yet again. I didn't think I would get the care I needed. And I was right. Upon my discharge, I still had chest pain & I was nauseated from this "GI cocktail" they gave me. They didn't treat either problem. I even told the dr that there is a referral in the works for a cardio work up. And the dr insulted me, insisting that I was a drug seeker staring "I can't give you narcotics," which I never asked for. I filed a complaint about how I was treated & my chest pain was dismissed. I'll get a follow up letter upon review.
