Hi All,

The myocardial perfusion scan, went well yesterday. It was a stress one. I was told they may ask me to come back for a rest one? Saw my GP today. She changed my Gtn spray to a long lasting tablet. Only to take a half of this tablet. we left the beta blocker at the same dosage. I mentioned that I had the Echocardiogram and she had the results on that one. She opened it up as she had not looked at it as yet! She asked me if I had been born with a hole in my heart??? They think I only have two branches on my aorta not three. So that may have been why I had the scan yesterday to get a closer look. So not quite sure what that means at the moment until I get asked to go back to the Cardiology.

Regards Dee.
