I went to my appointment with the cardiologist today and ended up getting a 12 lead cardiogram, which surprised me. Looks like I'm having a stress test on the 26th of this month. Not the treadmill kind but some kind of chemical stresser and I will have pictures taken of my heart before and after. The doctor thinks I may have either peripheral vascular disease or renal artery stenosis. I guess it was true that my heart is having a hard time completely relaxing when it should and he's not sure if it's a valve that needs cleaning or perhaps some kind of blockage that can be removed. Will have to wait to find out.
He gave me some medication to try for the next two weeks and he says it may help me when I exert myself. He gave me free samples since he's just trying this out to see if it helps me. He also wants to be sure of what he suspects before actually giving me a regular medication of any kind.
I'm kind of bummed out about all this but c'est la vie! It is what it is. Love you all. Be good and be happy. Take care of your health. ***Hugs***
