I have had occassional chest tightness or a pressure like feeling for quite awhile, but since the hurricane a couple weeks ago and the extreme discomfort I felt from my heart during a period of intense heat in our home I have been feeling discomfort daily. It is constant, but there is at least a period of discomfort everyday, even when just relaxing on the sofa. My next appointment with the doctor isn't until September as his office said he doesn't consider my condition an emergency, but the increasing symptoms are worrying me. Should I call the office and pressure them for a closer appointment due to the increasing symptoms? My wife wants to schedule a second opinion appointment at one of the well rated Heart centers in Houston, but we can't schedule a second opinion appointment until they give me the first opinion. LOL I went in for my aortic stenosis check up on June 4th. Does this seem like a long time to wait for the doctor's opinion in the matter, or is it normal to take this long?
