Cardiologist

I don't remember a lot these days due to my meds so I don't know if I mentioned what happened at my pre op clearance appt. Apparently my EKG showed some irregularities and the PA told me I needed to see a cardiologist immediately and that I was currently stable. An appointment was made for me the next day. When I saw the Dr. He said that my EKG has been the same for the last 10 years. He did give me clearance with the understanding that I would have a new stress test since my last one had been a while ago. I kept my promise and scheduled an appt with him in July. When I saw my Pcp she had mentioned concern over one of my blood tests. Apparently one of my cardiac enzymes was elevated. She also wanted me to go for a stress test. I have an appointment July 28 with the cardiologist to set up an appointment for a stress test. I don't think I have anything to worry about.
I have now been discharged from Home Health and Physical therapy. I see my new Pcp in July as well to discuss the oxygen therapy.
I hope that will be reduced as well.
Can't write anymore. Pain is setting in.
Thanks for all your love and prayers.

I m so sorry to hear there are more appointments!
Many times EKG changes may resolve or don't mean anything.
You just had 2 major surgeries and were incubated twice, right?
After any surgery the heart can be " tickled" due to general anesthesia.
I hope it heals and it will be ok. Good luck!!!

Thank you friends. Unfortunately the first EKG was done before the surgery Aronia so that is concerning but the cardiologist wasn't overly concerned. He did make me promise to come back for a stress test. Bill you are right it will be a long two months before the stress test. Hippy thanks for your prayers and Old c per I agree if it were a serious situation they would have not waited. So I wait until July to meet my new Pcp and cardiologist.
