What an experience! I could not walk the treadmill because I have injured my right leg falling down some steps. The first day, Monday, they had me scheduled for a dobutamine test. A few minutes into the test, the nurse and I were just conversing about a few things, and I mentioned I had an ascending thoracic anerurysm at 5.0. She went pale, and went for the doctor. Apparently, a person with an aneurysm is not supposed to have a dobutamine stress test. SO, they stopped it and told me to come back Tuesday for adenosine test. It was a fast test, thank the Lord, because you feel like you are about to die but you dont. I was throwing PVCs and going into V-tach runs like crazy along with 1st and 2nd degree AV block.
I barely made it home, I was so sick and drained. The moment I walked into the door, I started to get sick. Was in bed all night. Today I feel much better. Of course,now have to go see the doctor Tues for results.
Does anyone else here have an aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve?
Thanks for listening.
