Just saw a cardiologist, and I am depressed

He put me on diuretics and is going to do a stress test on my heart to see if I have a blocked artery that needs a stint. I’m also supposed to limit my salt intake.

It seems like I’m on the same condition of a therapist who died recently at my psych clinic. Maybe it’s getting time for me to die too.

It’s good that you’re getting the medical attention that you need. Because of that you’ll be fine I’m sure.

My dad has had lots of stents placed. It’s good he caught the issue now, when you can still get the stents. Once you do, you’ll be fine.

I wouldn’t panic just yet. Like you said they are testing you to see “if” you have a blocked artery. You don’t even know if there is a problem yet. And if there is a problem, they probably will be able to solve it for you once it’s detected. Don’t assume that you are going to die.

He’s just being careful until he has more data. Don’t read too much into it yet.

Everything will be fine.

I have an appointment to see a cardiologist next month also.

I’ve got atherosclerosis and an enlarged heart.
I also suffer with a fast heart rate.
