Hi - I finally have some cardiac tests scheduled -- They are set up for Tues. Aug. 31st .. My EP dr. is going to start with a tilt table test and then the EP study and finally possibly insert a internal loop recorder unless something is found with the EP study. If that is the case then I think they will try other things to treat wghatever it is that they find - if they do find anything.
I have to be at the hospital at 2:30 for pre-test tests and then they'll take me down to where the tests are going to be around 4 and tests start around 4:30. If they proceed with the ep study they said that would be until 10:30-11 so to just plan on staying over night. I am nervous but do hope that this leads to some answers about what is causing the tachycardia and arrythmias as well as the resulting symptoms like sob/tiredness/passing out/etc.
Will up date as it gets closer -- also seen congenital pediatric cardiologist and my ejection fraction is down from 64% to 50% but no enlargement of muscle. Surgery probably within next 10years sooner if plan on becoming pregnant. Valve issues pretty much separate from electrical issues.
Take care,
Erica
