On my Compensation exam done in June it states under Cardiomegaly-Functional limitations :Mets
reason Mets estimated only *Estimated Mets 5-7 based on exertion limited to types of activities such as climbing stairs, carrying objects 30-60 lbs, shoveling dirt,walking 4-5 mph.
Reason Mets estimated only:patient not able to walk on treadmill due to back and feet disabilities. pt had reaction to chemical stress test earlier this year when had chest pain evaluation. Effects on daily activities:none, effects on usual occupation:none.
Then under the impression/summary its states Mild cardiomegaly without evidence of ischemic disease documented by a negative persantine-thallium cardiac stress test.
The rating charts show a 30% rating for the Mets, however-I have been up nightly trying to figure if what the summary stated will wipe that out and give me a 0% I know how the doctor writes this up determines what you will get, and if they write this up per what the rating is for that category is supposed to determine what you get. But when the doctor writes something up and contradicts it in the summary I wonder If this will go against me. And this is exactly how my whole exam went with other issues. I would appreciate if someone who is familiar about this Mets issue could explain it to me what this means. By the way, the next idiot who tries to give this chemical stress again better stand by. A heart hospital gave me this test because my blood pressure was too high and I was on too many medications. I thought I was dying, was passing out cause I wasn't recovering from this test even with the refersal drug. They told me they were going to call an ambulance(the hospital was in the next block) if I didn't wake up. More drugs, after 2 hrs I limped out of the clinic and straight to bed rest for several days-don't get this test!!!!
