VA is abnormal, what can be done?

Hi @hjones. You are certainly dealing with a lot of varying issues with your heart health right now. That is a lot to manage and I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to not get any concrete answers.
I'd like to invite a few members who have talked about some of the issues you are dealing with as well. @thankful, @macj007, @vic83, and @robert007 talked about having LAD blockages and may be able to share some of their experiences with you.
@hjones, you mentioned you are tired of going to the ER as a result of passing out. Have you asked for a referral to a cardiac specialist? Has anyone tried to identify what the exact reason is for passing out. You mentioned your lung and liver issues which rules out some medication intervention, were any alternatives discussed?

I have a Cardiologist who basically says it can take 10 plus years for the blockage to get worse. To keep taking my meds. The ER told me I have duplicate V1 and V2 along with a few other issues at V3 but my Cardiologist says it's not a cardio issue refer back to PCP. PCP says no it's cardio. Lung doctor says Cardio and so does oncologist. My Cardiologist disagrees and says again go back to PCP. I my myloproliftive so I'm sure my blood counts cause some of this. The ER said the issues with some of the arteries leading to my Brian is likely the biggest issue causing the dizzy spells. Some are to small one isn't there and a couple are duplicated. Honestly I'm at a loss. It's like they keep passing me back and forth wanting the other doctor to figure it out. I'm to far from a hospital like Mayo to just have a complete workup done by doctors who see rare things.
