I am grateful you will see a cardiologist, Veloyce! I have very mild heart valve regurgitation, where the blood "leaks" backwards inside of my heart. I have a BP device (the kind with the cuff) and a oxymeter (to check my oxygen saturation rate) so that I can keep track of my vitals two or three times a week. My body "tells" me when to slow down and rest.......
I pray that whoever you see is blessed with wisdom and patience in your care.
Love you, Sister

Update: Things are complicated for Veloyce. She also has symptoms of gall stones, and they are confusing things. Her encounter with the 'rona has stirred up a lot of trouble in her system. She's been advised by a couple of doctors to get gall bladder treatment (most likely removal) because it's hard to assess her other symptoms until that gets out of the way. As you might expect, there's a bit of bureaucracy when insurance companies get involved, so it's a lot of leg work running through that gauntlet to get things moving.

Oh gosh yes, with the insurance/pre-authorization/etc process. Those gallstones were 'discovered' in June I remember. Have they discussed lithotripsy as an option, depending on the types/number of stones. I am sure all of this you already know.
Lifting my precious Sister in prayer! And thank you both for keeping us posted. We need each other in Spirit, Heart and Prayer.
Love you!
