have been suggested to Cardiologist by the panel doctor due to spike in BP during the test
.I have white coat syndrome and all my blood/ urine tests are normal. Any leads on what to expect with the Cardiologist?

Personally gone through this...no issues as long as serum creatine is normal

They will just do basic cardiology tests to rule out any cardiac issues.

Thanks for your post. Does the Cardiologist take a serum creatine test or does he take ecg and other tests? Do they give any letter to the panel doctor? How does this go about?

Any idea what those are? My worry is I don't want to be medicated unnecessarily..especially since hypertension medicine are life long

Likely echocardiogram and ekg.

No the test is not long but long enough for you to calm down.

Yes Cardiologist does serum creatine..echo or ecg...if it's all normal then you should be good..he would provide report back to panel and they upload it

also hypertension meds should not be lifelong if you are able todycrease your bp.

Do they give a letter? The panel doctor said I can visit any Cardiologist..and asked me to share the test results and recommendations

OK it thats the case then upload the doc that Cardiologist gives and the panel will upload it. I am taking meds and mentioned that to panel.

If your serum Creatinine is under normal values no needs to worry. RMO sees any end organs (kidney) damage.
Some times BP spikes because of white coat syndrome.
All the best

Yes, mine is a classic example of white coat syndrome. My general physician is keeping track of it with blood urine results over the years. But the panel Dr clearly said canada immigration would not accept that they need Cardiologist input If they ask for.

So they referred you to the cardiologist?
Referring to specialist is expensive thing.
You are canada or in your home country?
How BP you got at panel physian?
