Doctors are very lazy when it comes to young health, extremely lazy. Most of the time they will waive it off as anxiety or just leave it undiagnosed like the doctors I’ve seen. It’s infuriating, not to mention if they are right or not it doesn’t fix the problem. I had like a 280 Total Cholesterol lvl last year in November. And they weren’t concerned or didn’t want to do another test. I’m still in pain and suffering they don’t even want to test me anymore. Like it’s so unprofessional not to mention the terrible healthcare in this country. Hell they will barely treat you in the er, better to just go to Europe and actually get fixed instead of the US using you as a quick comeback buck, and won’t fix u til you’re either dying or Alr dead ☠️

Hi @mylife90, you sound like you have a lot weighing on your mind. I'm glad that you had your heart checked and that everything came back normal. But your mind is not at ease with these results.

As a new mom, it is really hard to find time to prioritize your care. In fact, you could possibly be experiencing symptoms of post partum. Have you considered talking to a social worker or therapist? It's important to take care of yourself.
