Friday in the afternoon I had an echocardiogram of the heart, aorta, neck, legs. The internist I see who specializes in weight loss recommended it to be safe since I started taking a new med. for weight loss. He asked me as long as they are doing an echo would it be okay to include the carotoid and legs as well. I said yes. The person who did it asked me at least twice if I had high blood pressure before finally talking my blood pressure which was on the low side as is normal with me. Later she asked me if I ever had this test done before and if everything came out okay. I thought that was a little weird, but maybe that's just me.

can I ask what med the doc is going to put you on for weight loss? I think its a great idea that your doc is checking everything out. Don\'t worry about the techs questions, the doctor will surely go over everything with you afte the tests are completed.
Have a good day, and don\'t worry! huggs San
Thanks I know I am sure everything is fine. He put me on Phentermine. He told me though if I don\'t keep up with my exercise and watch my diet though I won\'t be able to keep any weight I lose while on the drug. I realize it\'s not a cure all but if it can help me while I am also doing the exercise and diet thing I am grateful for that.
