You can look up my old posts on these boards to see my previous comments but, in short, I also felt my cardiologist was taking everything way too casual. I asked around and found a highly-rated person who didn’t take insurance but I went anyway. He put me through a series of tests like a nuclear stress test, sonograms of my heart etc and said the blood flow was just fine. That put my mind at ease. He also prescribed an injectable drug twice a month that brought my LDL way down. Upping the statin dose hurt my stomach and from what I read online, it is not that successful in bringing down your LDL past a certain point. I also could not tolerate a baby aspirin. For some people, like me, it causes incredible heart burn. One night, I even thought I was having a heart attack but I stopped and that intense pain stopped. Any doctor who takes your heart health casually is not good IMO. I’d move on but know also that it’s not a death sentence. It’s all about blood flow. If it’s flowing, you’re generally okay. If not, it indicates a blockage but hey, I am NOT a doctor. Good luck to you.
