In Heart Tests on August 5, 2009 at 12:02 pmAnother heart scan…. Here’s the list completed so far
1.Electrocardiogram (EKG)
2.Transesophageal echocardiogram
3.Treadmill exercise stress test
4.Doubutamine Dual Isotope Stress Test
I have yet to get the results, but I did almost pass out when they raised my heart rate with medicine. Resting heart rate was low – around 50 without caffeine. then when they took it to 122. I lost blood pressure. I got a buzzing sound in my ears, got tired, had vision changes, and blacked out a bit.
Not sure if that’s normal, but it didn’t seem so at the time. I hope we figure out if the leaking in the valves is exacerbating my chest pains.
