Thank Dr. Diana,
I was worried after you and someone else said that the LVDD was seen but y’all were not notified. My cardiologist said to come back in a year, but he said that before my echo. Therefore, I wanted to make sure I was not missing something. As you said we must be our own advocate. I have the raw data and I was looking over it, and even though they called and said it was normal I wanted to make sure. I have dealt with chest pain and my heart racing for a long time. All the stuff you live with, and deal with. I hate that we have all these weird symptoms but all the test come back “normal”. I guess it is hard because I am a scientist and I like the data to back me up. After all doctors never want to go out on a limb with out concrete data. I was in to my PCP yesterday discussing things with her, and she never wants to go beyond what she does. For example I showed her my abdominal wound and ask her if I could start swimming again. She looked at it, but then stated that she did not want to make that determination and to leave it to my surgeon. Really? The wound is closed I just wanted confirmation. She is a doctor and should be able to answer that.
