I am trying to figure out if I am symptomatic. Constant fatigure finally led me to the doctor 19 months ago. I thought it was low testosterone because I am getting older. I will be turning 51 in September. I started going to the gym more, thinking I would gain energy, but I was still tired. I don't think I have any real shortness of breathe. The big thing was during the power outage when my body got overheated I had some heart palpitations and I felt pressure in my chest, which I read tonight is the same symptom as chest pain, most of the charts just list it as pain and I never have chest pain. I have no swelling, or anything like that. I guess I am just still unsure if the fatigue is actually because of my heart. I hate the wait between doctor's appointments and am just wondering whether I would be considered symptomatic or asymptomatic.
One article I read seemed to be saying the symptoms were things related to left ventricular funtion, like ejection fraction. My report states asymmetric septal hypertrophy, but normal left ventricular wall motion and LV systolic function. Does septal hypertrophy mean LV hypertrophy? It is under the heading of LV.
I have never had an exercise stress test, although as I am reading it seems that this is a necessary test to check for actual symptoms? Wednesday I have my CT. Maybe that will give me more answers. Hopefully my vacation right after that will let me forget this for awhile.
