Cardiologist Revisited


Today I went back to the cardiologist for the results from my tests. So the results were both good and unknown. The results from the EKG, echo cardiogram and heart monitor showed pretty much normal results. So now I go in on Tuesday, August 31, for a Tilt Table test. This test will try and reproduce the symptoms I have been having, lightheaded-ness, dizziness and nausea, which can be caused by a sudden drop in my heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces blood flow to the brain (so the problem is in my head, LOL - admit it - it was funny!).

This test is done in a safe and monitored environment!! This test will determine if I have orthostatic hyptotension, neurocardiogenic syncope or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
