3 /5 Jenna Crowder: JAN 2025, I went to Gulf Coast hospital ER with chest pain and super high blood pressure, was in waiting room for 3 1/2 hours before they even called me back, and was in the ER room for another 2 1/2 hours with no treatment, no doctor even saw me.. I was begging them to get my blood pressure down to no avail. I ended up walking out after waiting 6 HOURS for nothing ZERO TREATMENT...and went to Ascension Sacred Heart, where I was seen and treated immediately. inside of 15 min, I had an ekg (which indicated that I have an enlared left ateium), I was given medication to lower my BP right away, chest xray, & CT scan. I was given a new medication to keep my BP down until my cardiologist appointment which was in 10 days. Sacred Heart didnt have a cardiologist on site, just a nurse practitioner, she did not give me enough meds to keep my BP low to last the full 10 days to my appointment, which is concerning, since it doesnt seem to be working well. They gave me only 7 pills. I did call the hospital to ask if they could give me a few more, but the lady who they patched me through to said she didnt know anything about it. So my BP is still high, I have an enlarged left atrium apparently, Im a mother of 3 young kids, and Im praying that I dont have a stroke before my cardiologist appointment which in on Feb 4th, 2025. But I was seen and treated in the ER right away, so theres that. Compared to Gulf Coast, the ER is way better, but the after care isnt effective.
