Another Update:
Since initial onset of "mild" chest pains dad has had a stress test, heart cath and cleared of any blockages.
Pacemaker check found a new problem A-FIB. Started Eliquis for this and taken off Plavix. Was told that A-FIB does not cause chest pains.
Seen oncologist.....
His numbers are not low enough to warrant a confirmed diagnosis of his anemia causing the chest pains.
Cardiologist says plumbing all clear it must be related to MDS.
Electrophysiologist says what he is treating isn't causing chest pains.
Oncologist says must be heart related!
Meanwhile dad has stopped exercising for fear of the pain returning or possibly getting worse. Pains can come at any time now, even while sitting just watching TV. Not enough pain to bother him aside from the not knowing. Nothing like when he thought he was having a heart attack in 2000 and ended up with a quadruple bypass. In my mind ANY chest pain is significant and cause needs to be found. I can't believe they are all passing the buck.
Driving me crazy.
