Yes, definitely get a second opinion if you're not being heard, Olivia! Agreed--gaslighting does occur, for sure.

Totally agree with Ashley debweb. Don’t muck around. Get more opinions and push for referral to heart specialist if all else fails.🥺

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. "Medical gaslighting" is a real thing. I would suggest you AND your doctor document what took place in the appointment. And even potentially getting a second or third opinion from other doctors. You know your body best, so trust yourself!

Hi again Oliviarenee.
Did your cardiologist tell you what part of your heart is being affected?💜

There's really no one test diagnosis for lupus unfortunately. Anxiety can always do things to your heart. Naproxen reduces inflammation which can reak havoc in your whole body. Look in the resources at the top of this page about food to eat and not to eat regarding inflammation.
