I've read a bunch of posts on here and would like a bit of input. I am 43 yrs old and recently diagnosed with Diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. I had a heart attach at some point, I did not feel anything. I went to the Dr in the first place because my heart would race, chest tight and hard to breath. They put me on Lexapro and Zanex. A week later I went back because it was getting more frequent. On that visit, it just so happened that I was haveing an episode, my pulse was 112 and I couldn't breathe enough to talk. They did an EKG and found the heart attack. After a whole battery of test they found all the stuff listed above. I am now on a whole mess of medication, Diabetes, cholesterol, Blood Pressure as well as the Lexapro, Xanex and now another Anti Depressant and sedative. I now am awakened in middle of nite with racing heart and short of breathe. My chest doesn't hurt, it's just tight, like I might be getting a cold.
It just seems to me that my Dr keeps adding more medications to bandage the problem, but is not looking enough for the cause. I want to go to a Cardiologist, but need a referral and my Dr is dragging her feet about it. I'm at the point now where I have demanded a referral and if she won't give it to me, I want it documented in my chart and then I want my records to go elsewhere. My mothers family, parents and 7 siblings have all died of heart problems very young, so obviously I am worried about it.
Am I all wet?
