After I fainted I called Dr. K's nurse to tell her that I'd fainted. Usually that means that I need a medication adjustment. However, this time L told me "Dr. W and I removed that from your list of problems after the last appointment." I was diagnosed with LQTS by two highly respected EP's. They each did an ECG, an echo and a nuclear stress test to confirm the diagnosis. They each asked detailed questions about my family's health history. And they each asked detailed questions about my symptoms. Dr. W came in to the exam room flipped through a few pages of my chart and decided to reverse the diagnosis. Who does he expect me to believe? I have a prolonged QT interval, a strong family history of sudden cardiac arrest and I am symptomatic. This however, does not impress the doctor.
