Good - that you have a consultation. I was reading thru this and had my fingers posed to type out advice. Let us know.

Good on you to follow up. Don't put it off. You obviously have much to live for, and it'd be a shame to avoid the Dr, just because everything feels normal today.

Thanks all!
I also see my GP Dr on the 12th for bloodwork cholesterol.
I was informed by the Cardiologist nurse that, I am to call anambulace if it starts again, Queen.
Last check BP 127/75 heart rate 80.
I've always had a fast heart rate.

I love in the country by myself.
I don't want to end up as a grouse story of I guy who died in his house and his hungry dogs ate most of him before being found! Lol! But that thought crossed my mind the other day.
I know this sounds stupid, but I didn't call the ambulance because I didn't have anyone to care for my dogs..

Good to hear you at least have a cardiologist nurse. I am a trauma ER nurse. Seeing bp's like that always makes nurses-and docs- start to get nervous. Especially with potentially other comorbidities. Hope you start feeling better.

I understand about pets and not wanting to go somewhere when there is no one to take for them. Do you have a Nextdoor website for your neighborhood? I have found a couple people I can call to come over and feed the cats if I go out of town, and even to house sit if necessary. The 12th seems like a long time to wait to see your doctor. Can you get in sooner?
