No, you are correct-- you wrote that you have congestive heart failure, and had a stent, and pacemaker, there is no way you were told "nothing" is wrong with your heart-- obviously there is something wrong. You need a cardiologist to work with you closely as it is obviously your case is complex. I work in NYC and if you wish I can evaluate you in my office. Thank you.
