I'm fine!!!
Went for the EKG, etc. today and my heart checked out fine. I have a slight leaky valve, but nothing to worry about. Thank goodness for that! Good health is such a gift. I am always so grateful, and so relieved, when I get a negative on a mammogram or a pap smear. I am just as grateful today. Jessie went with me, which was so good. Just got home, so I'll be back on tomorrow.

I"m so happy to hear that!!! Many many people have a slightly leaky valve, but it causes absolutely no problems - you fall right in there with them!
It's really good to get it checked out though and be on the safe side. You can't be too careful with heart issues!

I have to laugh. The technician who did the echo told me that everybody has a slight leaky valve. Something about the fact that if the valve was completely closed, blood could not flow through. This is true, but since I never had an echo before, I don't know if it has gotten worse or ever was there. The doctor said that he didn't hear or see any evidence of a heart murmur at all, and that the valve would not be giving me any problem. He also said it would not be what is making me tired. I have to go back in 6 months for a checkup. I also hare to go for a Thalium stress test next week, so I will glow in the dark because thalium is radioactive. Here's the thing though - my doctor wanted me to have the stress test to check my heart function. The cardiologist found my heart to be okay, but wants the stress test because I smoked for many years. Since I have already stopped smoking for the past 15 years or so, there really is not much to be done. I will go because it is good to have these tests at my age just as a baseline, but if I had to pay for this, I wouldn't go. I go see my doctor next week. She did blood tests. I still don't know why I have no energy. It's probably anemia, thyroid or stress is my guess. I am very glad I got all these tests and that I'm finished with them. Thank you all so much for your wishes.
