Echo and cardio appt. tommorow.

I have my 6 month echo tommorow. I'm hoping it shows everything healing nicely, but then that would mean the light-headedness, occassional dizzy spells, and some fatigue that I still feel are related to something else. Got my fingers crossed!

Good luck with the echo, and let us know what you find out.

At 6 mths post op I still had some dizzy spells, fatigue, etc. Chances are very good that your echo will show a healing heart that just
needs some more time. Best wishes.

I had light headedness at 4 months, with some dizziness upon standing. Saw my cardio for a routine check and it turned out my BP medicine was now too strong and I no longer needed all of it. I went from 3 BP meds to 1 1/2 and within two days had no problems. May want to discuss it with the cardiologist.

Appoinment went well this morning. Vitals and EKG were looking good and just a few mins. ago, the cardiologist office called and said the doctor reviewed this mornings echo and everything looked good. They said it looked better then the 3 month Echo. This was a big relief for me! I was really worried something was going on. Now I just need to figure out this light-headedness I still get.

I've read that dizziness and/or light-headedness can be a coumadin side effect in 40-50% of the people. Has anyone else had this happen? Just curious.

I can't answer to your light-headedness, but I did want to say, Good Deal!, in regards to your appointment.
