hypertension stage 2 plus enlarged heart - is this linked to underactive thyroid? Help appreciated please
im waiting for an
echocardiogram
in March to look at my heart as its enlarged. I’m taking spirometer readings twice a day but can’t get above 250. Is this all linked? How can I help myself please?

I have an
echocardiogram
and 24 hour heart monitor next week and the consultant in October. I know it sounds silly but I feel so frightened. I am trying to stay as calm as I can but it is so hard with this coming so suddenly.

I had an
echocardiogram
yesterday for the first time, it was surprisingly strange seeing a video of your heart beating and all the valves opening and closing! I had it done because I’ve had a fast heart rate and also the cardiologist heard a murmur.

Tachycardia with Aortic Stenosis?
I haven’t had a cardiologist for 2 years, so that was my last
echocardiogram
. My question: Did or do any of you have tachycardia with your stenosis?

I am confused
I now have a problem with my heart and have been diagnosed with A Fib and Bradycardia.Some months ago I had an
echocardiogram
that showed something in my heart that might have been a myxoma. A cardiac MRI did not pick this up, though I do have a severely dilated LA.

Ectopics when I move
Had
echocardiogram
, 24 hour holter,all came back ok. Don't particularly have a high heart rate usually 55-60 bpm. Tried betablocker but at very low dose as anything too strong just knocks me out. Drs don't seem to want to know. Anyone else experience this,would be grateful for any advice.

Echo says 3 valves have regurgitation and low probability of pulmonary hypertension
The ECG came back abnormal and as there is family history of heart problems and a heart murmur has been mentioned as a child and during pregnancies I was sent for an
echocardiogram
.

I’ve been following your excellent supportive site since a minor heart issue 5 weeks ago when I was diagnosed with an enlarged right ventricle and atelactasis in base of 2 lobes and referred for an
echocardiogram
, the result of which I now have.

Coronary Artery Disease and Prednisone
My symptoms, presently, alerted the rheumy for me to get an
echocardiogram
in response to CAD (Coronary Artery Disease). The symptoms are as follows: Increased fatigue, increased sweating, shortness of breath (especially in the AM), tired-sounding voice upon minimal exertion.

Rheumy exam/USA major university medical system - disappointed
Rheumy ordered bloodwork & an
echocardiogram
. Oh, and she recorded the visit on her iPhone. This is at a major US university (Ivy League) medical system. What happened to the DAS exam & checking a patient's heart, etc? I left feeling, why did I even bother to go...?

New Afib diagnosis
I've been put on bisprolol, referred for an
echocardiogram
(a week Saturday) and now - 6 weeks following diagnosis - I continue to have PACs regularly and what I believe are Afib episodes on average 50% of the days.

Any recommended cardiologists in far NW/NE England for specific BP problems
The cardiologists in my Trust organised ecgs/
echocardiogram
( plus respiratory staff did chest X-rays ) but nothing found so they signed me off without seeing anybody too.

Should I push for more help
Echocardiogram
is normal, no structural issues with the heart. That's as of 3 weeks ago, so recent and reassuring. Spoke to my GP last week and he simply advised to stick with the Bisoprolol, this is the treatment strategy. And....that's it.

Pacemaker
I was also referred for an
echocardiogram
, which I had last Friday - still awaiting the result. Yesterday, I asked the cardiologist what had caused me to need a pacemaker. I assumed she would say I had a second or third degree block, or SSS. I don't think she had a clue.
