Justin's appointment with the cardiologist went well. The dr. felt very optimistic that everything is fine with his heart. While that is great news, it still wasn't the answer we were looking for. They did some blood work, but we don't have the results of that yet.
As for what lies ahead...the dr. has requested that Justin do a stress test and echocardiogram to check the structure of his heart. He did these tests five years, but they still want to cover all their grounds I guess. When he goes to have these tests done, he will also be given a halter monitor to wear for 24 hours.
Justin feels that some of his problem could be brought on by allergies. While the cardiologist hesitated, he did say that allergies cause the body to increase it's adrenaline which in turn would cause more PVCs. While he doesn't believe that allergies are the cause, he said it could be indirectly related.
So there you have it! I'll post more updates if we find anything out.
