What to Do After Being Misdiagnosed For a Heart Attack

These may include:

Take Care of Your Health First

Your immediate priority is making sure you are medically stable. Schedule a follow-up appointment with a cardiologist for a second opinion and any necessary testing. If you continue to experience chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, or unusual fatigue, seek emergency care right away.

Obtain and Review Your Medical Records

Request copies of all records from the visit, including test results, provider notes, and discharge paperwork. Reviewing these documents can help you understand what symptoms were documented, what tests were performed, and how the diagnosis was made.

Ask for a Clear Medical Explanation

You have the right to know why the misdiagnosis occurred. Ask your healthcare provider to explain what led to the diagnosis, whether standard procedures were followed, and how this error may affect your future care. Clear answers are important for both peace of mind and medical planning.

Monitor Your Physical and Emotional Well-Being

After a heart-related misdiagnosis, it’s common to feel anxious or unsettled. Pay close attention to ongoing symptoms and follow all medical advice, but also acknowledge the emotional impact. Persistent anxiety or fear may benefit from professional support.

Consider Filing a Formal Complaint

If the care you received felt negligent, dismissive, or unsafe, you can submit a complaint through the hospital’s patient advocacy department or your state’s medical board. Doing so can help improve accountability and prevent similar issues for others.

Evaluate Whether Legal Guidance Is Appropriate

In cases where the misdiagnosis caused harm, delayed treatment, or significant financial loss, speaking with a medical malpractice attorney may be worthwhile. Many attorneys offer free consultations, allowing you to understand your options without commitment.

Take Preventive Steps Going Forward

Keep a personal record of your medical history, symptoms, and test results, and be proactive when seeking care in the future. If you ever return to an emergency setting, make sure providers are aware of the prior misdiagnosis so they can proceed with caution.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my heart attack was misdiagnosed?

A misdiagnosis often means the medical staff did not spot key symptoms or made decisions on incomplete information. Reviewing your records with a heart attack misdiagnosis attorney or legal professional can clarify if the medical team met the standard of care in your situation.

What types of compensation could result from a heart attack misdiagnosis lawsuit?

Legal claims may seek compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering resulting from delayed or missed treatment. Your case value depends on the severity of harm and the long-term effects of the misdiagnosis.

How much time do I have to file a heart attack misdiagnosis claim in Florida?

Florida law generally sets a two-year time limit to file a medical malpractice claim, starting from the date you discovered the misdiagnosis or reasonably should have discovered it. To protect your rights, reach out promptly if you suspect improper care.

Will my heart attack misdiagnosis claim in Orlando go to trial?

Many heart attack misdiagnosis claims settle through negotiation. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to trial, depending on the specifics of your claim and your legal strategy.

Can I bring a case against a major hospital system in Orlando for heart attack misdiagnosis?

A hospital’s size or reputation does not limit your right to pursue a claim. The most crucial issue will be whether the hospital and its staff met the required standard of care under Florida law.
