Yes, folks, you heard me, I stopped in to see my cardiologist today for my 3 month follow-up (which actually occurred closer to 4 months), and he was happy with what he saw. He told me I was doing a good job.
SO, they take an EKG, they interview you and listen to the heart and lungs.
Here's my EKG from today:
Apparently, this EKG is "pretty good". Further, apparently, in some cases, the EKG never really gets better. People with severe attacks often have tell-tale EKGs forever. The nurse said mine looked pretty good and that there were only small signs of a possible heart attack. If you look closely, near the top, it says "Borderline".
Otherwise, things were very good. They liked my numbers for blood pressure (107/79) and I thought they were HIGH. They liked my heart rate & in fact thought it was a little slow.
Most of all the doctor liked my cholesterol (112); liked it well enough that he cut my Atorvastatin (cholesterol medicine) in half.
So, I have dropped the iron pills totally, and the cholesterol medicine is 1/2 of what it was. I am still on Brilinta and metoprolol, but it is getting better.
Another day of rehab therapy tomorrow.....can't wait.
Good night & God bless.
