bro, I thought I was going down the same path you were.
In the end, though, the doctors are telling me that there's nothing wrong with my heart and lungs, no blood clotting, no stroke, etc. But I've been having pain off and on for a while now, it's just now getting worse.
It's weird because now I'm moderately salty that I have symptoms that are KIND OF LIKE symptoms for cardiovascular issues, but no one knows WTF is going on. I'm getting an MRI soon to see if I have a brain tumor or something.
My chest is aching right now but I'm going to be getting billed a ton of money in the very near future for
"Wow...that's a really strange presentation...I'm not sure what this is"
I'm also just a little flabbergasted that when I got a CT scan with contrast, they just verbally asked me if I was allergic to iodine. I mean, like, I dunno? Was I supposed to have made an appointment with some other doctor about that first? I guess what she meant was
"Have you ever had a reaction to iodine when getting a CT scan w/contrast before?" but then what do you when a patient has never had a CT scan with contrast before? How in the unholy fuck are you gonna just look at a patient and /shrug when you ask a patient if they're allergic, and they don't know? Just go ahead and give it to them, cross your fingers and hope for the best? And then they gave me a second round because they wanted a 'better' resolution than they got with the first one.
The next day I wake up, and my face is beet red. Completely fucking crimson. I looked like
