Can anyone help with my symptoms please?
My doctor has referred me for an ECG and
echocardiogram
. Has anyone had similar symptoms, eg feeling exhaused, breathless, very low BP and resting pulse? And, if so, what caused it?

Anxiety and Worrying.
They did a EKG blood work MRI and a
echocardiogram
. All test came back normal. I was told it was a panic attack. Now two months later all I do is worry about my heart. I haven’t slept good in two months because I lay awake at night worrying about my heart.

I am aged 79. On 31 July my wife took me to Kingston Hospital with chest pains-I felt as if I had been kicked in the chest by a horse! It was 4 pm and A & E was empty. Within minutes I was in the Resuscitation Unit and over the next 5 hours had blood pressure and temperature taken, oximeter reading

My scan earlier this month was clear and my
echocardiogram
was normal. Had my last medical appointment for 2018 last week, woohoo! But, as all cancer patients know those dr appointments will never end, so come January it all begins again. But....I am still here.

Anticoagulants is the first step in the plan, followed by an
Echocardiogram
on 10Jan - depending on the outcome of that a Cardioversion whenever the NHS can fit me in. This has knocked the edge of Xmas but hey I'm still here. Anxiety and inactivity are my 2 main concerns - apart from the obvious!!

My AF journey takes a turn for the worse!
He referred me for a cardiac MRI scan, requested a 72 hour Holter monitor and an
echocardiogram
. I left with a feeling that this chap was seriously “on the ball”! A few weeks passed and I had all the tests he had asked for and I received a copy of the letter this consultant had sent to my GP.

Back to being scared - AVR
However over the last 2 or 3 years Ive had a few weird symptoms which were disregarded a bit until I had an
echocardiogram
last November. It was discovered I had severe aortic stenosis. I was referred immediately to Kings and they ran some more tests.

Newly diagnosed persistent AFib
I was put on a drip and had to wait until my heart rate came down before discharge with leaflets, medications and an appointment for an
echocardiogram
(next week). Is it normal for the meds not to control the irregular heartbeat?

MIN-102 trial: 24-weeks
This delayed me getting home because otherwise I'd have been finished after the
echocardiogram
. Aside from the
echocardiogram
, which apparently we all have to take now to make sure there aren't any adverse effects on the heart from the water retention, everything was as expected.

AF and heart function....?
I recently had a routine
echocardiogram
. After this was completed the technician showed me the "pictures" etc., and explained what I could see on the screen. (I have seen this on previous echo's.) and he suggested everything seemed much the same as before.

Palpitations and Halter Monitor
Tomorrow morning I go back to hand it in and then straight after I have an
echocardiogram
. I doubt they'll find anything physically wrong with me as I reckon it's electrical not physical. I'm quite happy I'm experiencing them today as the halter will have recorded them.

Heart Anxiety
In the past I have had countless ECGs, blood tests, a halter monitor and an
Echocardiogram
. - all fine. The heart monitor was around 5 years ago and the Echo 3/4 - could much have changed in that time?

High BP & future problems@#$!?
Since my creatinine is stable and doing great, my nephrologist sent me for an
echocardiogram
. So my doctor explained the results that my heart is mildly enlarged with a lot of scarring. I asked him what caused the scarring......thinking maybe it's because I am getting older?

Heart Failure Genetic or Not!
I've had
echocardiogram
(which diagnosed problem) and have recently had a myocardial perfusion scan which confirmed problem (40% ejection) stress test results better than expected. My question, cardiologist telling me he feels my heart failure is genectic.

Mild to moderate systolic dysfunction
His
echocardiogram
has shown that the dyssynchrony related to the LBBB. Systolic function does appear a little reduced and is measured as an LVEF of 44%."
