Cardiology

Today I went in to have a consultation with a cardiologist. He listened to me tell my story for what felt like the millionth time. Then he ran an EKG and an Echo Cardiogram. These test all came back with no abnormalities. He said that the reason for the chest pain is the dysautonomia or the misfiring nerves. Also he said that the reason that I have been fainting is that my heart is having a hard time pumping the blood through my veins so the blood is pooling in my legs and not enough of it is getting to my head which causes me to blackout. I now have a new medication that I am trying which will help raise my blood pressure hopefully to get the blood back to flowing like it should be. I will also be getting a heart monitor to wear around all the time and when I get dizzy or faint I will push a button and it will record what my heart does sort of like an EKG. It will then send the data to the doctor. We are hoping that this will solve some of my problems.
