Echocardiogram results…..regarding my other post about angina.?

July 14th, 2010 by admin

This goes along with my other question from a few hours ago about my symptoms being angina or something else.

I will say this first…I am seeing a doctor. I am just posting this to see what others think and so I know what to ask the doctor…….my symptoms…I will have a little episode where my heart starts pounding super fast and my chest hurts, I get a little short of breath, and my eyes start to get black in my peripheral vison and it closes in like I will pass out…..Im 31, used to smoke, not overweight, normal cholestoral, borderline high blood pressure, and family history of heart disease…….had an EKG that was "kind of " normal. She said it wasnt abnormal, but not normal…had an Echocardiogram that the preliminary results show nothing……is there other stuff that needs to be done, or should the echo have found it? Are there other test that will see what an Echo cant? I just dont want to overreact.

You may need to waer a holter monitor for 24 to 48 hours, to see if you are having an arrythmia. It sounds like you might be going into SVT or even v tach.
The echo can detect some things, but not always arrythmia problems.
I’m glad you are seeing a doctor and I hope all turns out well for you.

    May need a stress test it will show if there is an abnormality. If it shows something they will probably recommend having dye put in your veins through the large artery in your groin to take a look Good Luck

    I agree with the above post. It sounds like SVT. An echocardiogram would not be able to show this. In fact, because your echo was normal, it points even more to SVT. A 24 hour event monitor might catch the arrhythmia when it happens, and would be helpful with a diagnosis.
    SVT can be treated a few different ways. You may want to be looking for an Electrophysiologist who specializes in heart rhythms.
    Check out the Heart Rhythm Society webpage.
