Confused and concerned

Hello all,
First I want to say you are all very brave souls and that I admire everyone of you and hope that we all get some satisfying answeres to our questions on here and off! Good luck and many many best wishes!
Here is my question. I eneded up in the hospital for days in Nov. from a muscle spasm that was so bad I could not breath. I was not sure, but seriously thought I was having a heartattack. I was dx'd with MS in 2000, and FMS just recently and are prone to the muscle spasms, but this was the most severe I have ever experienced, leading the Docs to do many tests, And to my question.....?
I was told I have Moderate LVH. To take my blood presure reg. and keep a diary of it and take it in when I have my regular check ups with my Phys..... Okay that is not a problem, but here is what the problem is !
I do not and never have had high blood presure! ....So where did the LVH come from?
Yes I am over wieght....
Yes I am stressed , who would not be with MS and Fybromyalgia.....
I do not drink cofee or caffinated drinks ....
And I have all but stopped using salt years ago because of the swelling linked to the MS.
So how did I get LVH and should I be seeing a Cardiologist and not just my Primary Phy?
Thanks to all that read these and for your concern and answeres.
Best wishes to all!
