Gary is finished with his first heart test. The findings werent too bad, they could have been a lot worse. His heart is not relaxing between beats like it should. This is probably from having to take him off some of his heart meds during the winter due to his asthma. Heart meds are really bad about making asthma worse.
So they are going to try him on some new heart meds to see if they help. They may try to start him back on a lower dose of one of the meds they stopped in the winter, but they will wait to see how the new med does. It won't bother the asthma, but they aren't surebit will help his heart.
They are going to do a chemical stress test tomorrow, no treadmill, but they give him a drug to simulate exercise. I have to go to school for a couple of hours tomorrow, and his doctor told him she would take care of him. Awwww, wasn't that sweet.
