Im a 30 year old athletic male who was diagnosed with crohns in 2001. I've had stentsAbdomen - swollen Brain herniation Chronic persistent hepatitis Coronary artery stent Hyperemesis gravidarum Lyme disease - chronic persistent Stent put into one of my kidneys to protect from becoming compressed by my small intestine. I have lived 90% of my life exercising and eating healthy. Five years ago my Dr. noticed a murmurHeart murmurs and other sounds, and said it sounded like blockagePeripheral artery disease. He was my gastro Dr. and I really never worried about it. Well five years later now with no insurance and still symtoms im concerned. I've had this murmurHeart murmurs and other sounds for years with no shortness of breathBreath alcohol test Breath holding spell Breath odor, chest pain, or any signs of seroius problems except the murmurHeart murmurs and other sounds and some kidney pains. This has happen for years. My concern is im in the process of getting a job that offers insurance since this could be costly. Is there any reason I should act quickly since its been this long and I exercise 4 days per week and cardio 3-4 days a week. Can i wait another 4 months to get insurance or should I not risk and pay out of pocket to get some assurance. When i went to my family care dr. he said if your not having symtoms of short breath or pain wait to get the insurance and then get looked at. But im not sure.
