What My Heart's Been Telling Me

Justin's heart has told him that it's healthy!! While that is great news, it still doesn't explain what is causing his palpitations. We got the results back last night from his stress test and his echo. The stress test came back with good results, as did the echo. However, on the echo, they discovered that Justin has a small amount of leakage in the mitral valve.

He was told that this was nothing to be concerned about. In fact, they said a good portion of the US population lives with this and they don't even know it. Justin will just have to have this monitored now once every two years to make sure that it doesn't get worse. The only side effect that they said he may notice from this is fatigue. Should this get worse, this is something that can be fixed and sounds to be a pretty easy procedure. We still don't have the results back from the halter monitor yet, but they really don't expect to find anything.

They are going to do a calcium test, although I'm not for certain what all that entails. However, they are doing it just to rule out the heart.

After all of the visits with the cardiologist are over, Justin is going to see an allergist and visit that route to see if it may be causing any of the problems. So keep your fingers crossed! We would just like to have some answers!

As for now....YAY for a healthy heart!!
