hypotension, recurring cx pain

Posted By CCS on October 30, 1998 at 17:01:15:







I am a 37y/o white female with strong athletic backgound.  I'm an RN.  
I have been dealing with very labile B/P's can be 70's/40's or 130's/90's.
In the last week I've only had one day without cx pain that has required ntg x1.
The cardiologist my primary sent me to, after being admitted to the ICU that I work in,
was attributingthe low B/P's to IBS/chronic diarrhea, but . . . this has now been resolved
My employer is concerned as am I!!! Since my GI doc cleared me in that regards
I had an echo today that the tech said showed EF of 56 and the only thing she
saw was a small Aortic leak.  What is normal EF for me?? What should I expect
with these results. How agreesive should I be with seeking answers.  The cx pain is
getting really old.
