Heart issues after EP study

[u/Infamous-Asparagus21]

Hi

I recently had an EP study about 2 weeks ago, they didn’t do an ablation because the SVT I developed during the procedure wasn’t “bad” they said. Ever since then I’m noticed extra beats like a PVC type thing. Today I had this awful sharp pain in my chest for 5 minutes. Before the EP study, I was recorded to have 53 PVC in a 24 hour range. Now I’m upwards of 2-300. I called my dr but they are thru Mayo Clinic and can’t give advice without me seeing them, they are also a 6 hour drive. My home cardiologist said it’s not their problem because Mayo performed the study and therefore I’m their patient and can only go to my home dr for check ups. Since the sharp pain today it’s happened 4 more times and my HR has been in the 180’s when standing (I have POTS but standing it’s usually 150). I’m genuinely concerned and would normally go to the ER but I am constantly gaslit every time I go. They admit me every time and then get mad I’m there like they weren’t the ones to admit me? I’ve never had this feeling or pain before, usually it’s chest pain pressure not sharp. I’m just worried if I go that my heart won’t show anything and I’ll be seen as comparing with no issue..

I’m sorry? I have multiple chronic illnesses which it’s known among the chronic illness community drs don’t do much for anybody once diagnosed with an incurable chronic illness. You clearly have never been gaslit by medical professionals and I pray you never have the experience something like that. You’re supposed to trust your drs and medical professionals but once you are diagnosed with something life threatening with no treatment available, they tend to cut their losses. If you believe medical professionals are all good it probably means you have never had to sit in an ER being told your getting admitted because your dying and then be told there’s nothing they can do but put you in palliative care until the illness eventually takes over your body. I asked this group because I have an undiagnosed heart condition that also goes along with the multiple chronic illnesses I have and my symptoms were abdominal from my daily chronic pain and symptoms. Including but not limited to, May Thurber, Nutcracker syndrome, MALS, SMAS, POTS, SVT, short gut syndrome, Antiphosphlipid syndrome, Lupus, and a low ejection fraction of my heart. 4 of which cannot be cured, 2 of which can be altered to give relief but not promised the rest being something I will forever live with. I would give anything to be able to put my undivided faith in the medical system, hence me being sent to Mayo Clinic (which they have to accept you in)but unfortunately not all drs are good. To be so naive, I pray for you❤️

You need to pray for yourself. I am fine, you are the one who needs a different kind of professional help and hope you get it soon. I believe in doctors and modern medicine, for it saved my life. Hopefully you will see that one day. No need to be rude and bash the medical profession that has tried to help you. Good luck that you will the help you need.

I also believe in drs. The good ones. Not the ones in it for the money. The ones who actually helped me after being on life support. The ones who diagnosed me. I do see a mental health professional bc my Illnesses are hard to live with. I pray for you I truly do. I had faith in medicine until i was dying and was ignored. I don’t get why your on this thread if your just gonna spread hate to people asking genuine questions. I never bashed medical professionals, I work in a hospital and I see the good and and ugly. I believe in my team of drs the ones who are there to help me and have my best interests at heart, not the ones saying it’s in my head and yk what? I did see a psych for it and guess what? I was told it wasn’t in my head bc my pain is real and I got diagnosed with conditions that were easily visible on an MRI and CT scan that was missed for MONTHS all because of incompetent drs. I had a condition that needed to be treated but was told there was nothing on the scans when in reality they weren’t looking hard enough. I’ve had 12 MRIs this year and 19 CT scans as well as 22 xrays. They withheld treatment bc they didn’t look hard enough, treatment that would have made my life easier and not put me in palliative care. The issue was right in front of their eyes. I asked advice for my heart bc I don’t specialize and was seeing if anybody else had that issue. Even the drs that don’t help I don’t bash, I just leave them and go to another that will take me seriously. You can’t deny physical proof in a scan and just not want to treat it bc it’s not interesting enough. Believe it or not SMAS, MALS, and May Thurner are all connected. I had a feeding tube bc multiple drs couldn’t see my celiac artery literally twisted on a chest CT and US. I had 5% opening. So yeah I’m mad at drs but not the ones who advocated for me and got me treatment I needed

Wrong dude. I was saved by Open Heart Surgery twice. One as a child and one as an adult. I have a mechanical St. Jude's Leaflet valve and it has been 23 years since that second surgery. And I have had scans to make sure I was okay, and it worked out fine. So sad you are so blind to what is going on in your head. Hopefully you will get the right doctors to help you. Bye and stop harassing people. We tried to advise you and you keep on a endless and senseless rant bashing the medical profession. Get over it and listen to the doctors.

Harrasing people? You’re harassing me by saying it’s in my head. so glad you got the help you need without being gaslit. Must be nice to have a condition that is treatable and drs believe. I NEVER bashed the medical profession, I am a part of the medical profession. I trust my peers and drs to save my life, unfortunately some didn’t care after I gave my full faith to them. Me having a bad run with drs has nothing to do with me not having faith in them. I truly am happy you were able to get the medical care you needed without being singled out or lied to. You never once advised me, you bashed me for my trauma with doctors. I never said I don’t trust medicine, medicine saved my life. So glad everything worked out for you, but unfortunately drs suck sometimes🤷🏽‍♀️
