I'm "Young at heart"

[binny]

some of you might remember a couple of years ago when they rushed me to the ER in an ambulance with what they thought at the time was a heart attack. They could never give me a straight answer to what it was. I had 3 EKGs in the span of a few months and they were all irregular.

One doctor told me I have Dextra Cardia which means my heart would have been on the wrong side but so would all my other organs so that didnt make sense.


Well I went along with everything for a while but still couldnt explain what the deal was. Changed docs who sent me to a new Cardiologist (because I have a very strong family history of heart problems) and so today I did a Stress echo test and they discovered that I have a "Juvenile heart rate" and that everything was fine!




WTH? It took this doc an hour and a half to figure it out but the other docs ( 4 of them) and the other cardiologist couldnt figure out in months of observation! He showed me all the sonograms of my heart ( how cool is THAT to watch???)



Anyway, the good news is that Im fine, I have the heart of a teenager ( at 34 thats not too shabby LOL) and that there is no damage whatsoever

Much better day today!

I love that saying ~ 'Young at Heart'.
Great news Binny, now go celebrate with that beautiful family!!
Glad you got finally got an answer and can breath a sigh of relief.
I only wish I had something that could be considered juvenile!!

Great to hear!

I once had a similar situation (though not as potentially serious) and three doctors couldn't figure it out, and rand a bunch of tests. The fourth--and old fashioned country doc friend of my then DF's mom took one look and wrote a script, end of story.

Gotta know Binny which Doc finally got it right? (my favorite is Eloisa Walker, but she is a pediatric specialist!Which in this case is what you needed LOL)

To be young at heart.. oh I hear Sinatra calling!

What the heck is a Juvenile Heart Rate? Does that mean it is high?

Glad to hear the great news, Binny!

I've had my share of echos, dopplers, stress tests, and nuclear tests. I'm convinced NONE of them understand a female heart.

Thanks everybody

I was singing that song too LOL.

a Juvenile heart rate means that my heart is very healthy and strong. He said Basically it hadnt grown up LOL. Well it goes with my brain I guess.



Hi Judy!! LTNC, Dr. Weather ( or something like that) over at the 900 building at St Al's. He was great and so was all his staff.

That last cardiologist I saw that was in the cardiac center was useless, I cant remember his name, young guy. Very mean and I felt I was wasting his time. I wasnt the one who wanted to see him, my last doc made me go!


Anyway, today I have huge welts all over my body from the stickies. YUCK!
