Hi rickfox2676,
I am sorry to hear you are having difficulties with your blood pressure and heart rate. I have several complex heart conditions - arrhythmias, aortic aneurysm, hypoxia, borderline pulmonary hypertension - and my local team of specialists across multiple disciplines did not take my symptoms seriously. I felt like I was dying at home for the past year - on oxygen, fatigue, chest pain, high and low heart rate and blood pressure, and near fainting episodes. My vitals signs were always normal at my clinic visits. I purchased an Apple Watch, Omron Connect wrist blood pressure monitor with bluetooth, Lookee Sleep Pro and Nonin Connect oximeters. All this data goes directly to my phone and I can print out reports to show my specialists or simply show them my phone app readings. I highly recommend collecting home data and going to Mayo Clinic for an evaluation. I recently traveled to Mayo in Jan and Feb for evaluations, and the amazing Mayo Cardiology team did thorough testing and diagnosed me heart failure (HFPEF) after doing a right heart cath. This explains some of my symptoms. I also had my first big episode of AFib there, and I am now on medications. I feel better and my chest pain is gone. Please don’t give up hope. Collect data at home and seek out expert advice. My original Medicare and Medigap policies covered most of the extensive evaluations across specialties. I will return each year to Mayo for follow up. Best of luck to you. I hope you will get feeling better soon.
