Well as you all know I had my appointment with the Cardiologist on Thursday.
Got to the Hospital had another ECG, then waited to see the Doctor.
Doctor is a Lady and I felt really comfortable with her. Very like me, no beating about the bush, direct and to the point, with a great sense of humour. She gave me a proper going over and actually said she was surprised having spoken to Paul my Cardiac Nurse, that I wasn't more swollen. She'd been expecting me to be rolled through the Door. See told you, she had a sense of humour. They calculate, that I am carrying approximately, three stone extra in fluid all over my body. To say I'm uncomfortable is putting it mildly.
While I was in her office, she said I want you to have a Heart Echo Scan, told her that I'd already had one last week. So she said wait here, I'm going to check it. Which she did. She said that she couldn't see anything untoward on it. The symptoms I'm showing, can be down to the right side of the Heart failing, but its not the case with me.
She now wants me to have a CT Scan so that she can get a more detailed 3D image of my Heart.
She did say that there could be a small blood clot behind the Heart, which could cause these symptoms or it could be the bag around the Heart has tightened up restricting the Heart. She wants this scan done to rule these things out. She has also upped the dosage of the water tablets to try and get rid of some of the fluid. Well I'm peeing more, so hopefully I will start seeing a difference in a few days.
So now its a case of waiting for the Scan and then once that's done going back to see her and hopefully get a diagnosis.
To keep me busy, I think I'm going to start sorting out the caravan and turning it in to my work room...
