Discounted everything I said, told me I was overreacting, and that there was nothing wrong with me, told me that even though I can't lay flat cuz I wake up gasping for air unable to breathe and your doc said it's probably heartburn. And my fatigue is probably sleep apnea. Nevermind the fact that I have a 2.5cm ASD and a respiratory rate that is in 30s, all day everyday without feeling lightheaded because I am not hyperventilating, my body has grown accustomed to this because my lungs no longer function at normal levels because the extra pulmonary pressures have hurt enough alveoli that I breathe at these speeds constantly in order to compensate.....but all of that is discounted. Look back to my 2008 visit to you guys, where my echo showed an enlarged right ventricle and I was sent there because my doc worried about my +2 pitting edema might be heart related. Yet somehow now.....yet even with a lower ejection fraction in 2016 than in 2008, as evidenced by ECHOs, still somehow your doctor today figured he would discount all of my symptoms, tell me they are normal, and that I am overreacting, to the point of driving me to tears in his office...... I wish I could have given a zero, but your lowest is 1. Ever watch a medical show and wonder how someone can "ignore" a tumor or other issue till it's gets incredibly bad....or just plain don't trust doctors......it's because of people like these guys.
