heart failure and high blood pressure diagnosis

2 weeks ago i was diagnosed with high blood pressure and heart failure. i had requested to see a new cardiologist so my old cardiologist never told me i had heart failure. so he didnt put me on any medicine or any type of therapy. i dont see my new cardiologist til the beginning of october. am i safe to wait that long before i begin therapy

  1. Welcome to our community. I am sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis of high blood pressure and heart failure. We aren't doctors so unfortunately we can't give medical advice, but I would ask my old cardiologist this question. Or message your new cardiologist and see if they can give you an earlier appointment. You can also talk to your primary care physician about the high blood pressure so you can get that under control. I hope this helps.
