I ended up going into congestive heart failure three years ago after a viral infection ended up getting to the left side of my heart, while in the hospital it was determined that the left side was working at 25% it's normally capacity. I spent a week in the hospital and have been on meds ever since without incident. I went for a stress test last week since I started eating right and gave up drinking back in April to see how things are going, and they called today to have me come in and see the heart doc on the 10th. Turns out they want to do a catheterization again so I'm pretty freaked out...
I was able to walk the treadmill with little to know problem, and they did an echo a few hours afterward. I never have any symptoms like pain, edema or shortness of breath, but I do have high blood pressure and I could stand to lose some weight which was one of the reasons I wanted the stress test. I wanted to make sure it was ok to get to the gym and also go running, I guess that'll have to wait. Sorry, just thought I'd vent a little...
