Went to the Heart Doctor...but it wasn't the doctor is was an ARPN. Her name was Pam. Anyway..at my Other cardiologist they kept telling me how bad my heart was but they couldn't put a stent in my artery..etc etc.
Well..PAM told me my heart was pumping good, my main arteries in my neck had no blockage....BUT..my left leg showed some signs of blockage. She kept asking if I had any pain when I was walking...well, other than around the house, and few minutes in WinnDIxie the past 3 days...No pain walking. Well..today I went to Walmart. And Yes, my left leg hurts. but mostly behind the knee and in the middle of my calf. I will call them Monday.
But what surprised me about her report was my right leg was basically fine. That is the leg that is Bigger than my left leg, and that foot swells up more and hurts more than the left. Geez. I guess there are no arteries in my feet, as all the tests on my legs stopped just above my ankles. The reason I wanted to go to that doctor was because of my feet swelling. LOL The only good thing about this test was hearing that my heart was pumping good..was really worried when at that Other place the lady looked scared and excited that I should take it easy, and watch everything I eat....Hate to tell her, I never eat without looking at my food. LOL Anyway, she told me all that without having ANY kind of test for 3 years including and EKG! So glad I changed doctors!

Since you are in my neck of the woods, which hospital do you go to? Or where is your cardio. I need to get one, I have one in Pensacola, but I do not like her.

Cardiovascular Institute of Northwest Florida (Main Office) Several doctors there, and they do all of their testing there.

Good that you switched doctors. It’s not always easy to find a new doctor, but sometimes the old one makes it necessary to look. Sounds like you found a gem.

I'm glad you changed doctors. It's good that you will call them on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday). Have a good day and holiday.

That was a smart move, then.
