HEART OR GI POST OP CAUSED

APPROXIAMATE CHRONOLOGY & HISTORY
I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEMS & WHERE TO GO TO FIND HELP IN DIAGNOSING AND DETERMINING TREATMENT IF POSSIBLE. IT SEEMS LIKE NO ONE WHO HAS BEEN INVOLVED PREVIOUSLY (GI)IS ANXIOUS TO GO THE NEXT STEP WITH ME. ALL DONE AT LOCAL HOSPITAL(S) COULD POST OPERATIVE PROBLEMS (GI) BE CAUSING ISCHEMIA AND OTHER SYMPTOMS?:
Heart History
 Elevated Cholesterol

Dear Robert,

It is difficult for me to provide diagnoses in this forum.  However, it may be useful to undergo a different stress test (rather than the thallium) to rule out coronary artery disease.  Different studies would include a PET scan or a dobutamine Echo.

Much of these symptoms however are likely to be related to your lenghty and complex GI history.
