Feeling awful

Hi everyone...
First off I just got my pacemaker implanted on 2/10/09. Since then I have felt "sick" Very bad sore throat, throwing up shortness of breath. I keep getting the run around from all my doctors. I have been sent to the emergency room once only to be sent home with cough medicine?? Yesterday was the worse felt so weak was throwing up all day. My cardiologist keeps brushing me off referring me to my Primary Care doctor. My primary keeps sending me to emergency care. I now once again have an appointment for my primary doctor today at 130.....so frustrated. ;-(

How annoying! There are some really nasty flues going around this year, and there's not much you can do other than stay hydrated and wait it out. Have they checked you for strep?

and you just had your pm put in 2 fringing weeks ago, and they wont give you an answer oh god I know Id be going thru the roof if it were me. That is totally unacceptable in my opinion, good god to be that early after surgery and you havent felt good the whole time, sometimes wouldnt you like to just reach up and touch someone right in the mouth when they treat you like that......

I hate that, you shouldnt have to get a run around from doctors, Im afraid Id be findint another cardioligist and primary doctor if it were me. Are u on any meds? Im with the other two it probably is a bug but christ to go thru two doctors giving you the run around and im guessing not even telling you you have the flu or something. I feel blessed I guess that I have two fantastic doctors in my cardioligist and primary doc. Sorry to hear about this kind of thing on here seems like it happens more than I care to hear about.
