So you visit your consultant, they mention you need an invasive procedure to investigate, but this investigation involves your heart and could cause a heart attack - cardiac arrest - or lead to a artery bypass. Your symtoms are, waking at night with angina at arousing sleep or in Rem Sleep. |

Now you do your own research and find medical papers reporting Nocturnal Angina linked to sleep apnea, the same symtoms are what you have down to the pains - feeling and times your awoken..... Now do you have this investigative procedure done and hope it goes ok and they find a problem , or you have it and they find nothing leaving you in the same place you started. do you question your consultant and the procedure and give your own though on diagnosis..

you go to your doctor he says yeah take this 3 times a day for two weeks, and you do just that. he is a doctor right and knows his stuff so you trust him, you dont question his diagnosis do you ?. my problem is the more times i have this procedure done the more possible it can damage my artery or heart and put me into ICU and even on a bypass list. i dont want this. so what do you do ?

Are you even well enough to be on the table? I say fire every question under the sun at them. I rejected an orbital decompression and I'm doing okay with immunosuppressants just now. It's always a possibility in the future |

well enough, i dont know only way to find out is have the procedure, its russian roulette , right now if i didnt feel cold all the time and i didnt wake at night from angina, i could handle the other niggling pains and stuff. but i just really dont want bypassing - ICU or even being in the hospital longer than an appointment time

Seriously doubt anyone here is competent enough to advise on your heart problems. But from my experience I just know to ask any and every question. Do your research and bring your findings to their attention. Any decent specialist will have answers and never ever will I take being put under lightly
