It's the holiday season, so it may only be that they are short-staffed right now.

When they do the stress tests, they don't look as closely as the valves and chambers as they do during a regular echocardiogram. They look at your heart under stress. Maybe a 2nd opinion with another cardiologist, not in the same group, to take a look only at your heart - not during a stress test. You have to be sure that it's not a player in all of this.

I hope you will get ALL of your records. You need to know and understand everything going on with your health. There are things doctors do not always tell patients, believe it or not.

I'm sorry you haven't been doing well.
