I am getting worse and worse. I was treated on eliquis for 6months. I was never admitted at the hospital. 3 weeks after blood clots I got a pain in my heart & my liver & my breath was really hot, I couldn’t breathe the same. Since that day 2 1/5 years ago it has only progressed. I’m not getting help from anyone. I’m just left to suffer like this without a diagnosis. My doctors tell me it’s not PH but I haven’t had a right heart cath. Other than that I don’t know what else it could be. He knows the cpet is abnormal for cardiac disfunction & a low v02 max. All he did was check my mitochondria. I write him often in the online portal and he just tells me I’m sorry & that my vitals are normal. I have been in his care since January & have only progressed. He seems to not take me seriously at all. My heart hurts so much but cardiology has dismissed me completely after the mri. He’s wrong and I know he is. I can feel it when I’m breathing in & out. The pain is a lot not only in my heart but all around my lungs & organs there. I wrote my cardiologist & begged him to help me. He’s sending me to another one & the pulmonologist is sending me to the undiagnosed clinic at Vanderbilt but they can choose to deny my case. I’ve been breathing like this for almost 3 years. I can’t even walk the store anymore I feel like fainting. Every breath hurts in and out. I had my primary care Dr refer me to Mayo Clinic through charity care the other day. I pray they accept my case. I really really need help. This is just not normal. I’m a mom of 2 boys. They need their mama. I’ve done everything I can to get help over the years. I just get an im sorry or I don’t know. This is not fair to me. Nobody should have to suffer like this.
