So you visit your consultant, they mention you need an invasive procedure to investigate, but this investigation involves your heart and could cause a heart attack - cardiac arrest - or lead to a artery bypass. Your symtoms are, waking at night with angina at arousing sleep or in Rem Sleep. * +

Now you do your own research and find medical papers reporting Nocturnal Angina linked to sleep apnea, the same symtoms are what you have down to the pains - feeling and times your awoken..... Now do you have this investigative procedure done and hope it goes ok and they find a problem , or you have it and they find nothing leaving you in the same place you started. do you question your consultant and the procedure and give your own though on diagnosis.. * +

you go to your doctor he says yeah take this 3 times a day for two weeks, and you do just that. he is a doctor right and knows his stuff so you trust him, you dont question his diagnosis do you ?. my problem is the more times i have this procedure done the more possible it can damage my artery or heart and put me into ICU and even on a bypass list. i dont want this. so what do you do ? * +

Are you even well enough to be on the table? I say fire every question under the sun at them. I rejected an orbital decompression and I'm doing okay with immunosuppressants just now.

It's always a possibility in the future * +

well enough, i dont know only way to find out is have the procedure, its russian roulette , right now if i didnt feel cold all the time and i didnt wake at night from angina, i could handle the other niggling pains and stuff. but i just really dont want bypassing - ICU or even being in the hospital longer than an appointment time * +
