Who has stopped seeing cardiologists?

Who has stopped seeing the cardiologist?

Maybe I went back to work too quick, but I think I am at the end of a 40 hr week. I barely make it thru the day and I don't function well when I am at work.

At home, I can't do normal work like cooking, cleaning, laundry and the yard work I loved is too difficult.

The cardio does not seem to be helping, his offer was to increase the proamtine which has bad side effects.

I am thinking of eliminating seeing him. I may do a call in interrogation, have a copy sent to me but leave off the cardio visits. Or change cardio,
Any sugestions?

Take it from me not all docs are created equal!

If this one isn't doing you any good get another and another until you find one that can help you!

You could be playing with fire by not seeing a cardiologist at all. Think twice before you do that!

If you're not getting answers from your current doc, it's time to get a second opinion. And when was your last physical? If you're not feeling yourself, don't assume it's cardiac.

You probably can't stop seeing the cardio altogether. The pm settings are a prescription, they must be overseen by a doctor.
