Thank you all for the kind thoughts and good advice. I am relieved now that the visit is over. I'm wearing a holter monitor as I write this, but he doesn't expect to see any thing unusual on the recording. He feels that the changes in the echocardiogram are the result of the high heart rate the medications have induced over the years
He seemed to understand why I was not in a hurry to add more pills to the pile, so he said that if my heart rate was over 100 a lot of the time we would have to talk seriously about adding Inderal. I didn't get lectured about any thing, he did a good job explaining himself to me, and I didn't feel like he felt I was wasting his time. I do feel that having a friend of mine, an R.N. who used to work in cardio., there was helpful. She wasn't sure she could get off work in the next building to be my memory/encyclopedia/support.
Noa, he also thought an endocrinologist was a good idea when he saw the lab report. Apparently the #s look like the problem might be pituitary. I guess I need to do some more research. All these little sticky electrodes itch something awful, so I guess I will take some (more) pills and go to bed. Thanks again, folks. Quilter
