Good morning, @lightgoddess. My goodness, you’ve sure been through the wringer with this ongoing health issue since January! You’re right, the wheels of healthcare can move very slowly… been there myself. It’s incredibly frustrating and anxiety inducing! When you know something isn’t right and you feel there’s potential heart related issue, time is of the essence. I’m so sorry you’re not being heard!

Some positive news though is that your lab results came back in normal range, showing a reduction in the inflammation. But that still doesn’t answer what’s causing the dramatic drop in your blood oxygen level and other symptoms.

I’m encouraged for you that your insurance company is going to bat for you! That’s fantastic. For all the negatives we generally hear about some of the insurance companies it’s refreshing to hear that they have your back on this and nudging you to another clinic. I think that’s a good idea.

You initially joined Connect with the discussion in Blood Cancers & Conditions because of your elevated Ig numbers. Heart related issues are out of my area of experience so I feel you might might get more feedback from members sharing similar symptoms in the Heart & Blood Health support group.

Click on the link I’m providing below. If you’d like, you may start a new conversation or peruse the discussions to see if there’s one you want to join. Feel free to pop in anywhere! https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/heart-blood-vessel-conditions/

Since you’re going to be starting life fresh with a new cardiologist and PCP, I found a helpful discussion in Connect about:
