I've been quiet on the forums recently due to work and health anxiety affecting me less.
However, all that has changed following a consultation with a new doctor the other day.
I saw a new GP regarding some allergy tests I'd had done, and she then noted I'd been taking Sildenafil as prescribed by my regular GP. As this had been working so well, I'd mostly forgotten about the erection issues.
After a chat with her, she was obviously quiet concerned and said she would refer me to a cardiologist to be 'on the safe side'. She then went on to say that she's seen it happen and if it's in the penile arteries, it can be in the coronary vessels too. 'it' I took to mean atheroma. So long story I'm seeing a cardiologist on the 22nd August. Tried to put it through my insurance but they said no.
I have been worried I've let this go on for too long and could have sudden death between now and my appointment.
I think what's playing on my mind was the GP said 'all men with persistent ED need a through cardiac workup regardless of age'. And although I did know this beforehand (this is not a new concept) , I think I'd been living with my head in the clouds thinking I'm too young. Sort of being brought home.
And I'm only 26!
