What ever happened to: bend over and kiss your butt goodbye???
I am 84 years old. For almost 4 years, I have consulted with my PCP,
complaining of the mentioned symptoms. I even went to ER couple of times.
Recently, while visiting my Daughter (in a neighboring state) I was finally diagnosed with AFib in the ER. After a week’s stay in the hospital my heart rate was stabilized. I was given a 30 day supply of blood thinners and heart med, discharged and told to return to my PCP for ‘follow-up’.
My experience has taught me that the medical professionals are too often not as aware of the symptoms of heart problems, as the general public!!
