Appointment prep
Prepare for a sarcoidosis evaluation
Granulomatous inflammation affecting the lungs, eyes, skin, heart, and nervous system is frequently dismissed as asthma, post-viral illness, or anxiety for years. Medvo helps you document the multi-organ pattern in clinical language and request appropriate biopsy, imaging, and specialist referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Shortness of breath, dry cough, or chest pain that doesn't resolve
- · Skin rashes (erythema nodosum or lupus pernio), eye inflammation (uveitis)
- · Profound fatigue, night sweats, joint pain, and neurological symptoms
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · High-resolution CT chest and biopsy of affected tissue when clinically indicated
- · Referral to a pulmonologist or rheumatologist experienced in sarcoidosis
- · Cardiac evaluation (MRI or PET) and calcium/vitamin D monitoring as needed
If you've been dismissed
- · Symptoms blamed on 'post-viral' fatigue or anxiety without further workup
- · No biopsy or specialist referral despite classic multi-system presentation
