Addressing all my questions. It ended with reduced anxiety and hope for longevity.

When I could not hear the doctor properly due to echoing of speaker phone the doctor went to regular phone line.

I could barely understand the person on the other end of the line and she explained that I would need a diagnosis to be able to receive a consult from Just Answer. I have been undiagnosed for 30 years so that doesn't help me at all.

I was experiencing really weird symptoms after my cardiologist admitted l had artery blockage of 50% but could not touch it yet. Chest and throat pain the sweats and then chills all night. I became a little bit uncomfortable and did not want to go to ER. But did not want to do anymore damage if l was having some kind of heart problem. So l called and after answering her questions and filling her in on my reasons for seeing a cardiologist. She assured me that the blockage was not the problem and l was likely having an infection of some type. So that second opinion of 50% is not enough to risk an invasive procedure. I decided to follow the advice took 2 baby aspirin 81mg. And half of a beta blocker l was on to control BP. And a couple Tylenol for any temperatures that were occurring. It worked the on again off again chills and sweats were gone in just a few hours and she said to have a ginger tea to relax my stomach and calm my nerves. So l did this and was relieved of symptoms that l never gave ER another thought. I am still seeing my cardiologist to get answers to the rest of the original complaint which was an arrhythmia and long recovery time after trying to work out or doing anything with the slightest bit of physical exertion. I was glad not to have to ended up in ER for 12 hours for a minor thing that caused me to think to much. Even feeling as poorly as l did jumping to an answer was wrong but an easy second opinion by a medical professional was the right way to go. I am quite sure the ERs are busy enough and my insurance won’t miss footing a 1000.00$ bill. And l for sure won’t miss waiting in the lobby with a super good chance of getting really sick and then a customary 8-12 hours running a few basic tests and releasing me. Let alone the feeling of being scrutinized as weather or not you are a drug seeker or not. That goes on for everyone these days because there are a ton of them these days. But being there for legit symptoms and in pain and being put on uncomfortable wait times even when the ER is not under any hi volume beds full situation makes you not want to ever have to use them. One of the top reasons l decided to call. Thank you for the professionalism and giving me your thoughts and options.

I do not know whether I talked to a real doctor or AI

I was impressed with the amount of questions asked that helped with what appeared to be a pretty good diagnosis. Questions were relevant. I found the process easy even though I live in Australia I could relate. I also liked the follow up question on how I was going.

it gave me good thoughts of why this could be happening to me

AI was on target and directed me to a doctor I could talk to and assist in this non emergency situation. Very helpful. I happened to have in my home the over the counter medication he recommended. Thank you!!
