Nervous About Test Results

Met with surgeon today. Got the results of all of the previous tests. Low in Iron (count was 15, normal between 25 and 150), Vitamin d, and b12. Need to see hematology as a result.

EKG a little abnormal. Surgeon almost ignored it, but then decided to send me to a cardiac consult anyway.

Little bit low oxygen saturation in blood. Need sleep study and pulmnologist. (sp?) High cholesterol (225). I have the endoscopy scheduled for March 6, with a tentative surgery date of 6/20.

Any medical people out there? I have not had results like these and I'm kind of freaking out.... Am I ridiculous?

Yes, I have to bring mine with me to the hospital. Not looking forward to it :-)

I had all the same types of tests. Blood was found in my urine, but after ultrasounds and a physical exam, that was cleared as nothing. I did end up having sleep apnea and hemochromatosis (too much iron), now the chest xray has come back with some "swelling or infection", so I had an appointment today with a pulmonary doctor. BUT.. that was rescheduled till Tuesday because he has a funeral today. Problem is .... my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and he has to clear me first. I will be begging him to clear me. I stopped smoking at the end of December and have been coughing up junk ever since. Maybe that is what they are seeing, I'm not sure. So the tests are good but really have caused an emotional roller-coaster for me.

Isn't it nerve-wracking? I have a sleep study tomorrow night too.
