Margaret - I would offer some caution regarding your input - you sound convinced the doctors are not competent and that the companies providing medications are in some sort mode to simply take your money. Both of these, IMO, are not accurate.

Medical professionals work hard to do the best thing for you. Does it always work - of course not because, among other things, we are all bio-physiologically different. You have way oversimplified the complexities of medicine and those providing it.

Conspiracy theories do not explain most things in life - and, certainly not in medicine.

I couldn't agree more. Conspiracy theories are probably not the best tidbits to pass along to an individual with a new diagnosis and who's scared about it and needs reassurance, not the old
"they're all moneygrubbing quacks anyway" schpiel.

@mayoconnectuser1 I feel exactly the same I had a mild heart attack and had to have a stent, I lost my husband last September and my health has completely deteriorated. I cry all the time and can’t understand why this happened to me I’ve always had good blood work and no heart issues. Please feel free to reach out anytime, hopefully we will both get our lives back.
