An Echo

for 20 år siden 0 +0 / -0 20

My appointment for the cardiologist is on Monday, its to go over all the data on the echo and holter monitor. I am thinking that if he saw anything really wrong (that is if he has looked at it yet) I would have heard by now. Its just tough waiting so long for an answer. Didn't do to badly this week, was able to work all week and for the most part didn't feel too bad. Last night though, I went to bed feeling great, but woke up 1hr later and felt like I couldn't catch my breath, and my heart was pounding. I freaked out a bit, and jumped out of bed and paced for a minute or two. I didn't know if it was a panic attack (something that couldn't make me die) or a heart problem (something that could make me die) so I took a xanax and layed back down, calmed down and fell asleep within 10 minutes of taking it. So I am still not sure if it was a panic attack or not, I just find it so hard to believe it was when I went to bed feeling great. Oh I can't wait until my appt monday. One way or the other, at least I will know

Hey Randy, i was just checking to see if you got back any of your test results yet? Hope everything went okay- keep us posted!!

Actually, it is a required question. lol Someone probably did not write it in the chart and he was just asking for clarification. My cardiologist DID tell me, that if they saw anything at all on the test that was concerning they would stop and talk to you. If you leave without any stop and talk issues, then you were okay!!!

Hey Randy, I know you're going to worry all week, but try not too!! i did the same thing& trust me if there was something that required immediate attention, they would have had a cardiologist come in and take a look at what they saw. i'm sure you were just nervous and that's why they probably asked you that. they asked me the same thing and i do smoke- so then i had to hear the big lecture on quitting smoking. hang in there, i'm sure everything will be just fine!!

I know you can't help worrying - I sure can relate but trust me it'll get easier. Anyways you may as well relax and enjoy your weekend because worrying isn't going to change anything for you and its great because think of it this way if there is something wrong they'll be able to fix it! Best wishes to you and I hope you are able to relax somewhat.

Thanks for your reply mommzay! The tech did ask me twice if I was nervous, he must have noticed my heart beating fast. I said I was, and he said don't worry, and try to relax. I hope that is all it is! I am sure I am worrying about nothing, but I can't help it. Its going to be a miserable weekend thinking about it!

Randy I've never had an echo done but I'd imagine its a pretty standard question for someone who is monitoring your heart to know. Your heart beats faster when you smoke. I'm sure if it was anything serious they would have contacted your doctor and your doctor would have called you or they would have suggested you contacting your doctor.

Okay I am scared to death now!!!! Had the echo done, nothing to it like you guys said, and now I have the halter moniter on. What scares me is that about 5 min into the echo the DR doing it asked me if I smoked. I said no, and he said okay. That was it, he said nothing else. Why would he say that if he didn't see something real bad???? Now I have to wait until next week for any results! I have never smoked, but I grew up with both parents smoking in the house, car, everywhere. I am scared!

Hi Randy, I just got hooked up to my 24 hour holter today! I have had one before and there's not much to them. It's just annoying because you've got this bulky box- thing strapped to you.I have also had an echo, and am having another one done soon. Just like Jackie said, it is simple and painless. My tests have all been normal in the pat but I'm still a bit anxious that they will find something this time... I guess I will find out soon. Good luck Sarah
