All’s Well
So, all went well at the doctor’s office. They didn’t do an echo. I have no idea why the telephone message (it was a recording) said they were going to, but whatever. Not a big deal I guess. My blood pressure was 110/80 and considering how stressed out and anxious I’ve been the last week or so, I consider that a small miracle (and also good genes - thanks Mom). My EKG was normal. Everything is good. He says to follow up with my regular cardiologist (the one I saw today is the one who does the ablations for flutters) at the next scheduled appointment, but if I have any major shortness of breath issues to call him sooner and get an echo scheduled so they can check blood flow.
We talked again about the Catscan they did of the heart several months ago and he said the radiologist said everything looked fine to him. So, things are good and try not to worry.
Try not to worry is a tough one, but maybe I can calm down now and not let the anxiety take control. Apparently, for all intents and purposes, I’m fairly healthy. I certainly don’t think I’m as healthy as I could be, but that’s mostly something I do have control over and need to take control over. So that’s what I need to focus on now. And maybe that will help the rest of it not be so stressful. Thanks for the good wishes!

*whew*
Glad all is ok. (And duh - they stress you out and then wonder why the BP is a bit higher than normal. HAH!) Seriously though, that’s not a bad BP even for being a little stressed. That’s still well within the range of normal.
