I just got back from the ENT — I have acid reflux.

(I am glad to see this board is back; I was here a couple of yearsa ago under another screenname. The board crashed somewhere around May of 2010, I think)

I bounced this off the cardiologist when i was there about a week and a half ago; he suggested an ENT and he’s also sending me for a stress test.

See a cardiologist, stat — if your heart rate stays like that, you can run into other cardiac problems.

I presented with a very high heart rate — when I got to the hospital (where they eventually dx’ed my Graves) they gave me a med to slow my heart down. I don’t know if they can give that to a patient routinely or only give it during a stat situation.

The endo appt is in 3 weeks. There’s no way you can get in to see him earlier.
