So I just came back from my echo. I was hoping that the technician would 'ease my fears', but she just stated that she couldn't tell me anything. She did tell me that I could "see for myself" ...which would have been great had known what to look for. Sigh. Anyway, I just wanted to give an update ...even though it's not significant.

What happens next?
Well, next I have to go see my cardiologist to discuss the results of both the holter monitor and the echo. Then I have to do a stress test. If nothing shows up on that then I guess an event recorder would be the next logical step ...although we haven't discussed the possibility of that yet.

Should be a stress test since Annia has described her rapid palpitations being triggered by exertion.

Well, you should bring along somebody who looks like he came out of the TV show the Sopranos and says things like "I don't know nothing about doctoring. I'm just here to make sure my little sister gets the RESPECT she disserves. Ya know what I mean." After that everybody will be happy to talk to you just so they don't have to talk to the other guy. 🙂
Seriously, good luck, keep us informed, and hopefully the information provided by Dr. Chung and others will help you formulate good questions.

When is your stress test, Annia?
I don't know yet, Dr. Chung. =( The secretary told me that she will make the appointment after I see my cardiologist. Just for the record, I don't know when I see him either because she's supposed to call me. I hope that both are soon though ... I will give you the date when I know more. Thanks for caring. =)
