Hi all - I need your wisdom.
I just had a BNP test done for heart failure as my doctor wanted done (although he said he was 99.9% sure I did not have heart failure). I do have a call in right now to the doc on-call to discuss this value also. I don't want to go through the weekend being a wreck.
This particular lab said their "normal" is 0-99 and my BNP was 66. Is this good? Does this mean I do not have CHF?
This has been harder than having my surgery - getting this blood test, I have been so scared.
The doctor on call just called me back and said this is within the normal range and I do not have CHF.
I would, however, appreciate any and all opinions on the BNP test. Oh my gosh, Emma Jewell is going to be a reality - our dossier is done and is being sent to China next week. I was going to cancel our adoption if the BNP was high.
After my Mom died of breast cancer at 64 years of age, her being a devout Christian GOOD woman - and she was prayed over in the church - I don't believe that God picks and chooses, ya know, but I am very thankful to Him right now if you can understand.
