I doubt I will follow up. Una’s leeches would be preferable.

I'd consider the cardio followup at least. Heart's not something you want to mess around with. I imagine they'd just give you a 24-hour Holter monitor to start, and that was just a minor inconvenience (not being able to shower for 24 hours and having to return it). For sleep study, if they're concerned about apnea, you might just be able to do a home one. I'm picking up the equipment for mine in a couple weeks (earliest appointment).
