James Sloan: Echocardiography Initial Test. — I agree. That was the test that showed my problem quickly. Sorry for replying so much later than the post.

Hi Laurene

Laurene all tests to me are not difficult . You have to go in with a positive attitude thinking that these tests may safe your life, prolong it or give you a better life style. I don't know how better to put it. I have lived it. I have to date now have had 5 heart attacks, a triple by-pass and now 11 stents. I have had 11 angiograms and many other tests known to me. I still work out and body built. I am very active but I know my limitations. Good luck to you. God Bless.

I had that done a month and a half ago. The test showed every thing was ok. The cardio doctor said see you in 6 months. I said no I want an angiogram done. He asked me why. I said after a triple heart by-pass and 10 stents, I think I know I when I am in trouble. I said if you don't book me one I will go to see some one else.So he booked me one. I was 90% blocked and ready for a heart attack to happen. The only thing that shows on me is a angiogram. I pass all other tests.

Hi Team.

When I talk about my life with heart problems you can't compare yourself to me. We all are different . You all have to know your own body and history. Only use the information we all give each other as a guide and information to help us out. Work with your doctors. I work hard every day to stay fit and stay alive mentally and physically. Having the right mind set helps. Good luck to all and GOD bless.

Merry Christmas to all.
