I am looking for some help interpreting the test results below, if some could help I would be very grateful!
I have been having tingling in my leg (and now right side of face), was woken up three times (in 3 months) with pounding heart, feeling dizzy - really scary. I get very short pains in my chest - like a pin prick. Also, I get longer, very dull aches. Also, heart palpitations. My doctor told me it was anxiety and prescribed me an anti-depressant. I am not taking it. I don't believe it is anxiety - I am a very calm person, I handle stress very well (and I don't have much stress to begin with!), and have a positive outlook on life. All of this has been going on for 3 months now. I saw an internist who order 3 separate 24 hour holtor monitor tests (each 1 week apart). The first one was almost 2 months ago. My family doctor was useless in helping me understand the results, and the internist's secretary said that the doctor wouldn't book a follow up appointment unless she saw something to be concerned about. I have since had a echocardiogram (last week) - which took 2 months for me to get into that appointment. My doctor hasn't received the results, and the internist secretary said she won't receive them for about 3 weeks, and even then, she won't book an appointment with me unless there is something that warrants investigation. I am scared that things are just going to slip through the cracks - and I have no one to ask questions to.
I think what my holtor says is that I have palpitations, but they aren't frequent enough to be concerning - this is weird to me - because until 3 months ago, I NEVER had a palpitation (that I felt) - but then they started all at once and I feel them every day.
Oh - also my doctor tested me for Thyroid (TSH) and it was normal - but when I asked about other test that I read about - T3 and T4 he refused - saying that TSH was the only test that mattered.
I don't have the results of all my holtor tests (my doctor couldnt find them!) , but here is the only one I have:
