Thank you for this story. I am surprised the head of Pulmonology at one reknown Hospital in CA dismissed further investigations into the symptoms I was exlplaining to her.

It was worth it to get a second opinion as they asked further questions and even had a nurse follow up via phone after initial doctor visit asking if I’ve had swelling in my legs. Though I have not had swellling, I have had painful circulation in my arms, hands, fingers, legs, toes, as well as a punching sensation in veins of my chest. Will follow up with Doctor accordingly to ask for an ultrasound of my legs, arms, and heart. Sounds like another CT scan may be helpful but this time with contrast.
