@sueinmn Hi, I have not. I see cardiology in 2 weeks and my primary doctor seems to think cardiology will work with pulmonary on this. My next step should it worsen before cardiology appointment is to get to the ER.
Primary care is under the impression that cardiology will do pulmonary function studies because of the pulmonary hypertension affecting my blood pressure and heart rate it is a nightmare. It is an overwhelming, sad, depressing, nightmare. I don’t know how you all do it, but this is rough.

@breakingbadmom Please be sure to get a pulmonology referral from the cardiologist. I guess my issues occurred in a different order, pulmonary issues came first, later the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. In one case, my primary sent me to the pulmonologist. In the other, an Urgent Care to ER trip earned me a cardiologist on my team. In the odd world of medicine, it was my pulmonologist who sent me to rheumatologist because she thought my new, young PCP had missed something - and she was right.
