    as always, Dr. Connolly is an excellent physician and cardiologist he listened to everything I had to say, looked at all my records and wondered if I would mind dropping two pills cause it doesn't seem to be a need for it and I was thrilled. I was happy to do so in the next day when I wasn't sure which one I was to drop I sent a text and he responded immediately with the right information. I have all kinds of respect and Dr. Connolly and his ability to handle my heart.

And I had also a question about if I could get my blood pressure checked before next year. And I know it may seem minor, but I had very, very low blood pressure. And I just didn't ask him if like a nurse practitioner could give me a call or come in for a blood pressure.
