Concerns after surgery?
After I had surgery down the cut I had three holes open up and I'm still waiting for full healing it is almost there but other problems like anxiety are the biggest concerns. Is there any help for us when someone accuses you of something. This really put a strain on me like yesterday I was shopping and had a dizzy feeling for about twenty minutes then had to call 911.

Sick Sinus Syndrome
Sick Sinus Syndrome
After reading questions and answer here I believe the answer to all my concerns points to sick sinus syndrome. My question is how I should bring this to my cardiologist without upsetting him. Most doctors have a dim view of their patients self diagnosing. Everything that I read on this is me. I should add I had a heart attack and stent insertion back in Aug 2017. I have just started going to this cardiologist after having one that did nothing and don't want to get on the wrong side. Any… read more
