Brief summary of beats the hell out of me…

Here’s a brief summary of beats the hell out of me.

Stress Test: possible scar tissue on the lower part of the septum towards the left ventricle.  Ejection fraction of 41.

Echocardiogram:  Heart is working perfectly fine- including the septum. No scar tissue and an Ejection fraction of 60-61.

Chest CT a month ago looking for a blood clot in the lungs - no clot and no calcium deposits in the cardiac arteries.

2 CT scans from Onclogy - mild deposit of calcium in the cardiac arteries.

Blood pressure taken by an electronic cuff at the doctor’s office - 140/90 typically

Blood pressure taken with a stethoscope at the doctor’s office - 112/78 typically

Saw the cardiologist yesterday… actually her NP….. Since my lipid levels have always been very good, and I’ve always eaten fairly healthily, done cardio and lift, she said the stress test was probably a false positive.  She ordered a Calcium CT test looking at any Calcium deposits that might be in the heart.  I’ll set that up today.

So, be your own advocate, do your own research and use common sense.  After all, God gave it to you for a reason.
