Give and get support around quitting
I am normally quite passive I'm very rarely aggressive BUT since I quit smoking 2,262 days agoI have to say I'm definitely more assertive instead of shoving down my emotions with the cancer sticks I try to speak my thoughts anyway obviously I should've pushed my Drs secretary last Wednesday instead of waiting until today to see if I could talk to him on the phone anyway better late than never he called awhile ago and I told him I still am still having issues from being in ER last Tuesday so he's setting up a stress test getting me set up with a halter monitor as well as a blood pressure monitor so hopefully it won't take too long to get these things done hummm I guess I'm learning to be more proactive a little quicker from now on......
Glad you did. We have to be our own heath care advocates.
Thank you I should have done it much quicker!
Hopefully the tests will set your mind at ease . You did the right thing . I know what you experienced was concerning for you . You and your doctor know you best . Thanks for the update.
Thank you Maki, it'll be great to get some answers....
Better late now than the end of the month!
Good for you for standing up for you!!
Thank you
So glad to hear this...the monitor will let you know if your heart is experiencing any issues with activity or stress. My brother in law, who is a physician, had to wear a monitor for two weeks which I had never heard of before. I think they are usually for 48 hours and they ask you to keep track of what you are doing in case they see anything concerning. I am so glad that you called and advocated for yourself. Good for you. In the meantime, please don't try to carry a cord of wood and bake bread simultaneously.
Love,
