heart and lung center - #18632
I am really worried about my health lately, and I don't know what to do about it. A couple of months ago, I started feeling this weird tightness in my chest, especially whenever I did any physical activity, like climbing stairs or even just walking my dog. At first I thought it was just fatigue or being out of shape, but then I got short of breath too, like a bit lightheaded sometimes. I went to my regular doctor and she mentioned a few tests, but honestly, I’m kind of freaking out about the whole thing. After some tests, she suggested I see a specialist at the heart and lung center in my area. Now, I've been reading up a lot about the heart and lung center online, and it sounds really specialized, which is good, but I also feel sort of overwhelmed. What should I expect when I go to the heart and lung center? Will they do more tests? I heard they might do things like an echocardiogram or lung function tests? I’m just hoping it’s nothing too serious! Has anyone else been to a heart and lung center? What was your experience like? I just need to know how to handle things from here because I feel like I’m spiraling a bit with all these thoughts.
