I saw my cardio yesterday, he listened to my heart, answered my questions, and was happy He did not do EKG, nor Echo. Just blood work for electrolytes and lipid panel. He wants me to have a stress echo in three-four months.
Is this the norm?! wasn't there a need for an echo now?!
I have some fluid retention since we ate out a lot and the Holiday. Cardio did not recommend dieuretic...he asked me to abstain from adding salt to cooking completely for a while; and in general, he recommended I avoid the three Ss: Salt, Sugar, Saturated Fat.
