Stairs Update, As the saga continues

Hi guys, my dr. office has tracked me down and set me an appt. It seems the cardiologist thinks that I may be developing another problem. :-O
I have not a clue as to what it could be and at this point I am not even going to try and guess. The appt. is for tomorrow at 1:15. I will take time from work to go.

I always find it rather odd that I leave the patients I care for to go see a dr. and become the patient. There I will be, dressed in my work scrubs... being cared for by medical staff. Odd. The nurse did say something about a dopler (sp?) test?? Is this like a heart echo? Anyway, I am just home from work and I am really tired. All that traveling and then no rest before getting back to work. he he

I will post again tomorrow and let you guys know what the Dr. can tell me.

Take care all,
Pacergirl

Yes I think they are refering to an echo test to measure out put efficiency. Good luck!

Thanks :-)

I will keep in touch. However I won't be able to get online until after 7:30 tonight, so if you all don't hear from me please don't worry. I will be fine. Probably just need an adjustment to the PM. I will ask questions before any test and get some answers. Great advice!
Thanks everyone for pulling for me.
love, Pacergirl

I've seen many posts about people being concerned about exercise after having a device so thought I would let you know that yesterday I raced my first marathon since having my pacemaker fitted in fall 2004.
