I am having one of those, is it ok? Is it just like an ultra sound scan?

[mixy79 in reply to Hidden]

yeah its just like it strange to hear ur own heartbeat

[Hidden in reply to mixy79]

Thank you. I thought so. I had a stress cardiogram done recently, and i could be bordering on angina( i guess copd has a hand in it!), but doctors requesting an echo one now.

Do you have an appointment with any doctors?

[mixy79]

no i dont

[MisUse in reply to mixy79]

Who arranged for you to have scan? I am sure they will contact you, but good idea to contact gp

[mixy79 in reply to MisUse]

the hospital did it why i was in but just had to wait for an apointment

[MisUse in reply to mixy79]

Oh OK, then talk to your GP and see what he suggests

Hello mixy79 .

I am guessing your doctor suspects problems with the valves or chambers of your heart, that may cause shortness of breath. Is this why you had the echocardiogram? I think what comes next depends on the results of the test. When will you see your doctor for the results?

yes they think it might be to do wi my double scoliosis crushing one side i was just wondering what would happen next ìm asuming the doctors will call at

[Caspiana in reply to mixy79]

Hello mixy79 . I can't imagine they would do the test and not explain the results after. Would it be possible to call and ask for an estimate as to when you may be called for an appointment? In the mean time are you comfortable enough? No pain? It's rather confusing isn't it if they didn't mention the follow up appointment. xx

yeah im fine its been since i was hospital wi pneumonia for the 2nd time as my oxygen levels were low . i will phone the doctors tomorrow and see whats what .

[Caspiana in reply to mixy79]

Ive had 2 echocardiagrams as my breathing became worse .both showed slight differences on the heart side .The doctor explained it to me after the gram and there was nothing for me to get worried about. Dud they not discuss your results with you after the scan ? X

[mixy79 in reply to Alfiebax2]

no nothing .

[Alfiebax2]

By rights they are supposed to unless your own GP specified he wanted to talk to you about . Good luck but i feel if anything was untoward they would have told yoy .x
