Patient
I had been experiencing dizziness and fainting upon standing. My blood pressure would drop significantly and heart rate accelerated. My PCP referred me to a cardiologist and I was lucky to have found Dr J. He could have dismissed it as simple orthostatic hypotension due to under activity. (Which it was. I had lost a significant amount of weight with GLP-1s. Along with the fat loss, came muscle loss.) But, Dr J wanted to rule out any other causes. I had an echocardiogram, a chest MRI and a tilt table test. In all of that, only a small calcium deposit was found, in my coronary arteries. During the tilt table test, the NP that performed it, suggested compression leggings. That has been a key factor in not only eliminating the syncopal and near syncopal episodes. Dr J has encouraged me to begin an exercise routine that will keep me healthy. I really cannot recommend Dr J enough! But, the best part about Dr Janardhanan is his kindness, compassion and easy going manner. I am actually very glad that I was experiencing these syncopal episodes. I now have a fabulous cardiologist that is following me, establishing a baseline, for when the time comes that I REALLY need a cardiologist. I look forward to seeing Dr J annually, for follow up appointments. Thank you Dr. J!!
