As for the results of the CT I am sure I just got a call that said all was well since I didn`t see my DR for almost 9 months after (09/11/19 CT done 01/24/19).
Since the Sept appointment I have had quite a few different tests with a couple with the cardio people in a couple weeks (CARDIOLOGY ECHO and CARDIOLOGY EP). I also had a month with a Holter monitor. I will say once you have had a heart attack they do treat certain thing quite seriously.
I believe that there are other factors as the cause of my problems with the main one being dizziness with light physical strain mainly just a brisk walk or getting out of bed or the shower but not heavy things like carrying 50# bags of salt to the basement softener or doing the driveway after a the few snowfalls we`ve had this year.
A few months ago I had a cardio nuclear test done what showed no real problems but also said I didn`t complete it because they could not get my heart rate high enough. I have bad knees and could barely walk fast enough on the treadmill and even with the regadenoson infusion it only got to 104.
In a couple weeks I will have few questions for them with the cardio ep consult.His
resting heart rate was 54 beats per minute and rose to a maximum heart rate of 104 beats per minute with stress. Resting blood
pressure 110/62 mmHg increased to 138/52 mmHg with stress.
Resting ECG shows a sinus bradycardia at 51 beats per minute, a
first-degree AV block and a prior inferior infarction.
Ancient_1- Your knee issues aren`t helping any, huh? What might you be able to do there? I mean, that must make it hard to exercise your lower body, can turn into a vicious circle.
Interesting about your Max HR...but different people are, well..different. Your Resting HR is good at least
Hope you`re able to get to the bottom of whatever`s going on.
Gentlemen, if I may...I know most of this conversation is about cardio issues, BUT DO TALK to your health provider concerning your chances of having a stroke!
I had a mild (but very debilitating) stroke last March. Granted I am in my late 70`s, but I sure as **&$ didn`t see it coming!
