[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 228733, member: 43589"] My new cardiologist agreed with my PCP, that there is a possibility that a very small piece of the clot broke off and cause a minor pulmonary embolism. He wanted to do a lung scan but I said no. Reason being is it didn't matter since the treatment will be the same. I have no shortness of breath and very good lung capacity. The irregular heart rate is gone. I took my blood pressure this morning and my resting heart rate was 50 BPM. He is going to ween me off the metoprolol next visit. I did have symptoms of a PE at the same time I had tachycardia and the leg swelling. I has a dry cough and shortness of breath. I assumed it was the metoprolol I was taking that my wife had but did report this to a cardiologist that I fired later on. Readalot, shortly after all of this crap was discovered, my whole family came down with Covid. I think it was the BA 5 variation of Omicron. We did not get tested as it would not have done anything to help, we could have still been sick and needed to treat it and get rest. I could care a less about being a statistic. My wife got it worse that I did she had a 101 fever for days. I had aches and pain for a day, felt no energy for 2 weeks, a dry cough, NO fever at all and a slight runny nose. I had an appetite the whole time. So, I stayed at home for 5 days and missed the gym for 2 weeks and have had no further symptoms. I have had colds that were worse. None of us are vaccinated and will not be and we did take Ivermectin and HCQ, plus Doxycycline. The first question my vascular surgeon asked me was "did you get the covid vaccine." Anyway, I got a $150 bill from this cardiologist that scheduled me a nuclear stress test despite seeing plainly that I had a swollen leg, pain and experienced tachycardia. A 1st year nursing student should have easily recognized this as a possible DVT. I asked some nursing students at work to check, they were 8 weeks students. So my response is I filed a complain with the Texas Medical Board for incompetence. I have phone records of me trying for 3 days to cancel this test as it might have killed me to stress the heart to max. I was specifically told by the vascular surgeon not to do this. Yet this cardiologist insisted. I am most likely going to contact an attorney Monday morning. I didn't want do this but have been force into a corner now over $150.
