It's Fatigue, just not MS Fatigue

[johnniebear]

My stress test early this week  revealed that I ,  decreased function capacity for my age and reverse redistribution abnormality,  I known that since childhood that I have heart murmurs . They don't cause any concerns.



I'm scheduled for angiogram April 17,  the Dr  told me expect to stay over night ,  I guess I'm having a stent place in,

I'm  not sure about the decreased function capacity,  thats just that my heart isn't pumping to well.
I've been on cholesterol meds for years,  and over the last two years i've taken off nearly 30lbs.  
So I thought  that  cholesterol  wouldn't be a concern,  I was wrong...




take care

I do hope you get to feeling better soon.  If you get that stent, you will probably feel much better!  My dad says after stent placement he had no idea he felt that bad before.  Helped him so much.  Wish you the best!

I am sending many thoughts and prayers for your son.  I hope the chemo ends soon.  Please take care.

Hi JB,

Wishing you well. Glad you are no longer delving into that report ;)
Hope they fix you up and you feel better soon.

Good luck with your angiogram and stent. I hope it all goes good.

John, I hope your son is doing good. He's got a couple more rounds to go of the chemo, right?  I'm sending well wishes to your family.

Take care,
Kelly

I spoke with nurse,  and she faxed the report to me,  the Dr took off for the weekend ,  he 'll call
me some time Monday..  I get detailed answers then.

This is nothing compared to what my youngest son is going thru ..

I'm concerned but not that worried..

I stopped googling all terms on the report - its just leads to uncertain opinions on my part.

Take care
Happy Easter
JB

JB - high cholesterol isn't always the culprit.  I had my MI and my cholesterol levels were only slightly elevated.  IF the doc is telling you that you get to stay overnight, you are probably right about the stent.  This is a fairly simple procedure and several of us here can answer questions about it, if you need help.

The decreased heart function is a concern so I am glad they are looking into it further.  I am guessing that you are talking about the ejection factor - and remmeber that the optimum number si around 65%  

good luck and let us know  how you come out.
