That means he doesn't consider you on critical list, which is good....I highly suggest you call his office and ask for a cholesterol blood test, so that doctor has that when he does see you. You can get that test many places, but make sure you don't eat 12 hours before test, a little water is OK, but not much. This way you have a good cholesterol test for cardiologist to look at test results. It helps. If he is on vacation, NOW is a good time to have his office set up cholesterol test with place you want to draw blood, and covered by insurance since you called his office The blood work only takes a few seconds, but you and cardiologist are better on your visit with these test results. I know, I've done it. ...This doesn't have to wait until he is back from vacation, in fact NOW is a good time to do it. Call and tell his office you want a lipid test so he can see your cholesterol level on your visit, and his office will agree. Make sure you don't eat from midnight on, otherwise it makes test results look even worse. Then when cardiologist see's you, he will say, " I see you got a Lipid Test. Good, that helps a lot ".
