Doctor's appointment could of been better

So after looking over the last 2 test I've done my doctor wasn't happy. My heart rate is still high. He's upping my heart medication and adding another dose during the day. He's also added a fast acting PRN for me to take when I need it. We're...

I sense a bit of sarcasm sprinkled in at the end? A bunch of us starting to rub off on you me thinks. 🤔

@Poppies yeah I've looked into it some and it seems like a minor surgery with a pretty fast recovery time. It's just the whole idea of it and I don't do down time or recovery very well

@Cigarguy Ask other heart surgery patients about their experiences, their preparations, their recovery process and how they handled it. I think you'll find the better the state of mind the better the surgery and recovery.

@onrealityofdreams I will hopefully the meds change will help and I won't need it

@Cigarguy I hope that's the case too.

I’ve had it done and could kick myself for not doing it sooner while experiencing with meds and dosages. Kind of out in the wilderness now but will answer a PM as soon as I can if you have questions.

@SageWanderer it might be a good thing for me the more I read about it. My HR is always high so I'd probably feel a lot better getting it done
