I have mild pulmonary hypertension, an aneurysm all septum, mild valve regurgitation (nothing to worry about), and a recent CT showed cardiomegaly. I saw my cardiologist last week due to continual severely uncomfortable heart palpitations and recent SOB with lowered pulse ox. He said the cardiomegaly might not be real (I know), and I had sinus rhythm on ECG, but then Sunday I got the automated result which said "consider anteroseptal infarct and myocardial infarct findings are now present". I called the office Monday to ask about it and the Dr was out. Nurse said she'd give him a message - that he hadn't reviewed it yet. It's Wednesday and I haven't heard back.
An echo is scheduled in a month, but it seems like they should do it right away. Even if it isn't accurate - given my history and symptoms - I feel it's irresponsible. He spent 3 minutes with me - ordered no other tests. I've seen him before and have had many echos - heart cath ('08 when diagnosed PH), and one echo showed LVDD), but a subsequent one didn't). I really could use advice! I have Systemic Sclerosis and MS too. The Systemic Sclerosis has damaged my lungs and I think caused the aneurysm.
Thank you for any help - feeling alone!
