I've only been seeing a family doctor who consulted a specialist to see what tests to run. Now I am seeing a cardiologist that is also an internist. I went to the cardiologist because my EKG has become abnormal and I am still suffering chest pain. Let me know how your heamtologist (SP) appt. goes. what they do. I'm just wondering if I should go to a specialist. Mine was a PE (blood clot in the lungs). Who sent you to the cardiologist to begin with? I was just wondering. Welcome to DS!

Close Shingles
Iam 45 and I was just diagnosed with DVT(blood clot) in my left leg for the 3rd time on Feb 7th. Then I found out I had shingles on the 18th. Yikesss this is painful. Leg was one thing, but this feels like someone is stabbing me with hot pokers. It's across my upper right chest. Hopefully it goes away sooonnnnnn!
