With a broken rib, I went for my stress test and did fine. Dr. called this morning to tell me there were 2 problems and need a cardiac cath before I can get clearance. I am over the edge totally. So so close. i am sure April 5 will NOt happen and don't know now if it will ever happen for me. I felt FINE during the test and had no symptoms. I am so upset and can't stop crying. Seeing the cardiologist Monday and will be havig a big ole pity party from now till then. Anyone else out here had this happen? Rib is still hurting badly but this........ Carol:sad0:

Take a deep breath. I know your heart is breaking right now, but you want to be in the best health possible before undergoing major surgery.

Now let out that breath ... any chance you can get in this week & not have to wait the entire weekend?

I called the cardiologist hysterical and asked to see him before but he has hospital duty all week so Monday it is. Then I have to schedule the cardiac cath. i am just so afraid they are going to snatch this away from me! Boohoo

Oh, Carol, I'm so sorry. I can just imagine how frustrated you must feel!

I will still be watching all of you guys and seeing how you are all doing. Thanks. You are sooo close! I never imagined this. It took me by surprise. When I see the cardiologist on Monday night, I hoep to know more but I doubt he will say much until after the cath. I clearly remember him saying to me on the colsult. Don't worry everything will be fine. You will have your stress and i will give you clearance and you will be happy. UGH! I had NO symptoms duting the test. Felt fine. I go to the gym regularly and never had a problem. I am just so freaked out. I have not even answered my phone today. I just can't talk about it.
