Cardiologist didn't put my diagnosis in my medical records. Red flag or not?
I am 26F. About a year ago I was referred to a cardiologist for chest pain and heart flutters. They did a week long heart monitor and an ultrasound and didn't find anything major. Cardiologist told me that it is a mitral valve prolapse (might have thrown in a "likely" somewhere) but did not really go into much detail about my results.
As I was walking out, the nurse asked him if she should put it in my chart, and he said something along the lines of, "No, don't give her insurance something else..." to charge me for? I didn't think much of it but now I am having an unrelated surgery in a month and have to go under anesthesia and I feel like this is something important for me to have on my records.
I still deal with frequent chest pain and am constantly exhausted and lightheaded. I also have lupus. I tried metoprolol for about a week but it lowered my blood pressure too much so I don't take it now.
I called their office and left a message asking them to actually give me the results of my ultrasound and such, as well as the severity of my supposed MVP. I was never told if I had regurgitation, if it was mild, etc.
I don't understand why he wouldn't just put it on my medical records and show me all of my results? Is it possible I have something else and he's just guessing that it's MVP? Any insight / opinions?
