Well my CT scan was a bust. Apearantly my hospital don't do what my doctor ordered and they didn't even know where I go to get it done. The made my appointment knowing what my doctor ordered then after all the waiting and getting registered for it I get told they can not do it. This is second time I was sent somewhere to get it and couldn't. I'm really fed up with all of it .

Is COPD responsible for high heart rate and heart failure?

If you ask them they will put a wedge under your knees . It helps take the pressure off your back and they even give me a thin pillow or roll a towel and put under my head . I have to have a CT every year on my heart due to an aortic aneurysm in the top of my heart

still haven't got my appointment for my scan . My doctor won't call me . I left a message and said they never sent the info they asked for so my insurance has turned me down and I can't get it.
