What’s a cardiologist appointment going to entail
Hi, I’m not sure what to put this under. Next week I’m finally going to a pediatric cardiologist for the first time. I’ve only really seen my family doctor up until now, and she’s the sweetest but I really don’t have experience with any other doctors.
My family doctor thinks I have POTS and wants me to look into that. I’m not sure if that’s been communicated to the Cardio yet or not, and I’m not really sure how to bring it up? Or what else might be important to bring up? I am taking salt pills now and they’re helping so I know I should bring that up but I don’t know if anything else should be brought up as well? Besides my symptoms, like my diet or stuff like that?
I’m also wondering if they’ll want to take my blood again, or if the ones from 6 months ago would be fine? I have a massive fear of needles. So yeah that’s fun.
Would they need to schedule a different appointment to test for POTS or send me else wear? I’m not really sure how getting diagnosed works at all. I guess I’m just scared and have more questions then answers.
thank You if you answered any of this it means the world 💜
