Healthy Heart to Heart...
So - time for Aussie to 'fess up... I've been having a battery of cardiac tests done lately off the back of a recent health assessment and some "irregularities" in my ECG under exercise. All a bit of a worry but due to family history all worth checking out... After resting ECG, exercise ECG, echo cardiogram

OK - Just Had a letter from Consultant Physician which goes:-
A recent
echocardiogram
shows mildly reduced left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction 52%). The scan was difficult due to frequent couplets,triplets and Bigeminies occurring during the scan.

Reflux or angina
My doctors are trying to work out if I have a problem with my heart because of pain in chest and once it spread from my elbows to my jaw, but only once. I took a few anti acids which made me dizzy so I didn't take them long enough to rule out reflux but can you have reflux when you have PA? I know we're

I still need tests like DIXA and an
echocardiogram
to check my bones & heart but I've had T3 added to my meds and feel more positive even though there is a long way to go. Valerie x

Introducing T3
As I also have a mild aortic heart murmur, I am having an
echocardiogram
to check that my aortic valve has no sign of calcification. I am also to go gluten free due to digestive issues, I'm on 20mg of Omeprazole daily. Questions: 1. Has anyone else got experience of taking Calcitriol?

What's been going on?
It seems a long time since I posted anything much about myself on here! I've been doing lots of reading but just the occasional comment. I thought an update would be in order. Some of you know my history, but others don't. To summarise, after years of Levo-only treatment after a TT for uncontrollable

Breathing issues likely bronchial spasms due to scaring from teenage asthma or I technically still have asthma but because breathlessness is on exertion (can barely walk across the room) and breathing hurts I do need to get my gp to refer me for an
echocardiogram
to check my heart so mostly likely nothing

Contradictory ? Lung Function Results.
The halter monitor showed 2,000 extra beats in 24 hours but these were not "sinister" the
echocardiogram
treadmill effort was rather lame and embrassing but showed no structural heart damage so the cardio said he thought the problem was the lungs and sent me off for a complex lung function test.

All tests and still no better
I went into hospital for a planned admission where I had a
echocardiogram
, a treadmill test, and a 5 day monitor. I also had a full abdominal ultrasound a short synacthen test (measures cortisol response ) and urine collection. Everything came back normal.

Saw my EP last Thurday
So it’s hardly surprising that I feel so tired (or all of us) He then looked at my
echocardiogram
from nearly 18 months ago now and said “That’s a large enlargement of the left Atria, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t even bigger now” I’m going to book you in for another to check, and also I

Thanks for rapid responses
Who knows Results of an
echocardiogram
showed diastolic dysfunction with pseudonormalisation of left ventricular filling (what on earth does that mean.) He seems to be against a pharmalogical solution, but pacing to a high atrial rate to suppress ectopics while INCREASING bisoprolol dose!!

As some of you read I finally got to see a Lung Consultant last month, and he wanted tests. I wrote about there here;- https://healthunlocked.com/blf/posts/131074577/getting-nervous-now I received the results of my first test today, the echo-cardiogram. I can not believe that after months of my GP refusing

Getting Nervous Now
Since seeing the Consultant a few weeks back I am now on oxygen 16 hours a day (2ltrpm sitting and 4ltrpm moving around), I have received two appointments for further tests. The first test is at the Cardiac Investigations Unit for a echo-cardiogram, (painless procedure and takes 30 minutes), (August

I saw a Cardiologist this week. Seems I may have a complication due to another complication of PSP. I'd appreciate feedback.
For those who've been following my posts, some of this is old info; for the benefit of newer caretakers/persons with PSP, I'm going to briefly refer to the complication of PSP I was diagnosed with May of 2013. My Doc (a Neuro) surprised me with a referral for a sleep study. Sleep apnea was the furthest

Should I go on medication for Paroxyismal Artrial Fibrillation as I have only been diagnosed, to date, by ECG?
He has prescribed this medication having only viewed my ECG Trace and without doing any other tests, although he is intending to do an
Echocardiogram
and treadmill test in about a month.

What to do now?? ("Normal")
He would not even tell me the results in numbers/units, let alone reference ranges or where in the range the results were - just NORMAL - as is, thankfully, the ECG, although now he wants - to be sure - to get an
Echocardiogram
(which I shall probably not bother with).

Ive had some breathing issues and while the doctor doesnt think its Asthma, I have an inhaler now.
However, they can now hear a loud murmur so I was sent for an
echocardiogram
which was yesterday. I take T3 only and Im now worried that it has damaged my heart. Does anyone else have any experience of T3 and heart murmurs?
