Hi Everyone, I just wanted to ask your opinions of this.....Iv been feeling short of breath for a few months. Today while sitting in the car it started up again and I had a thought:...why does it come and go, and is this typical symptom of MVR or could there be a more 'simple'' explaination for it, such as anxiety (though the only time I feel anxious is when I am SOB). I guess my question is does shortness of breath ''come and go'' with MVR, or is it there 24/7. When I was in my local hospital (just for a day, they wanted to admit me but I signed myself out) a couple of weeks ago, my stats were 93%...is that good or bad??
Also, I got an appointment to see my OLD cardio on Tuesday 12th DEC. I swore I would NEVER go to see him again as he is arrogant and impossible to relate to, but Im thinking, because he works at my local hospital, this appointment may be connected to my day visit and may be important, so I should probably grin and bear it and just go!!
My problem is ....how to get what I need from the visit....I know all the practical stuff like writing a list but Im very quiet and not good at speaking up
for myself and with this cardio I ALWAYS come out feeling emotionally deflated. On my last visit to him, which was back in June, he told me to go home and SOLDIER ON. This kind of treatment and disregard for how Im feeling, instead of making me angry, makes me feel worthless.
Sorry for rambling on....any opinions would be ''GREATLY APPRECIATED''
