Re: rough time
@Former-Member That post from a new member was removed for a reason and sometimes when that happens any responses are automatically removed as well. It would not have been anything you did or wrote but a carry on from the removal of the original post you responded to.

Re: rough time
Oh good, thats a relief. Thanks @Zoe7 . I expect you would have read it, prior to removal. It was really strange, and was rightly removed.
Have a good day my friend.

Re: rough time
Yes it was @Former-Member and I can very much see why it was removed. Glad the moderators were all over it so quickly One line in particular could have been seen as threatening and that is unacceptable in any form on the forum.

Re: rough time
Hearing you @outlander re:meds and other concerns. I completely understand why you want a second opinion, which is not an over reaction at all. The only issue is that the next health professional may want to repeat those tests (and maybe more) again. At the end of the day, however, you are the patient and deserve to have answers as to your concerns. That's only reasonable. Even more so when it comes to the heart. At your young age, your heart should be able to compensate quite easily for high hr or other abnormalities. If it's not, it warrants further investigation. Has there been any discussion about referring you to a cardiologist?

@Sans911
My current gp hasnt meantioned a cardiologist as yet, basically what ive written here is all that we discussed- so higher cortisol levels making my heart go funny at whatever time it chooses (does it at times when im pretty calm too) , and that my anxiety is the cause of it-thats basically all of it and when i questioned it she didnt respond. the trouble that im noticing though is my blood tests dont show high cortisol levels. basically i have picture perfect bloods and has been that way for a long time (except when i had an infection it showed that).
Wish i knew someone who could read ecgs properly and could explain it to me.
would it be over reacting if i go a second opinion? ive already been such a burden to the system with all these tests and things

Re: rough time
Some things don’t settle until there is or a degree of peace of mind @outlander, and stress and anxiety can make things worse than they are, or seem worse than they are.
A second-opinion doctor or specialist will only re-order tests if they find need to do so. It’s more about how they read current test results, and together with speaking to you, assessing how you are in the consult room, form their own opinion from their training and experience.
Its worth it if it is likely to give you more peace of mind.
Sorry this is a fly-by visit ..... back later .....
