He did explain that we would try medicine and then if that didn't work well enough, we'd try balloons. I guess I need more information about what the medicine does and what the balloons do and what the side effects are and stuff like that. Thank you."

I was trying to find out if I would be able to swim with my heart jumping all around. He just said why not. I felt he was just rushing from one patient to the next and didn't have time to really access the situation. More drs are needed in this department as I couldn't even get a follow-up appointment for a year from now. Had to go out 13 plus months."
