<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">After the fainting spell and trip to the ER on Saturday night, I
scheduled a stress echocardiogram for Tuesday morning. During that I had
tachycardia (my heart rate shot up but is not life threatening) and the
cardiologist was concerned about the wall of my heart. So he wanted an MRI but
before that he wanted to see if there was plaque buildup in my heart and in my arteries.
So Tuesday noon I had a CT scan and angioCT scan of my heart. One procedure,
once without a contrasting dye and one with. They found little or no plaque
buildup in my heart. I was to have an MRI immediately afterwards but got
bumped so it waited until today, Wednesday. They found that the right side of
my heart is a little enlarged which could be related to smoking (I don’t)
or sleep apnea (I’ve taken care of that). The left side of my heart is
fine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">So the result is that my heart remains healthy. I don’t
have to take prescription drugs. I should drink plenty of water to keep
hydrated so I don’t faint. I have been poked, prodded, listened to,
blood pressured and IV’d enough to last a long time.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Thank you all for your concern, e-mails, and good wishes.
Thanks again to those who acted quickly to get me immediate medical help.</span></p>
