Question Lennin..kenkeith,timber...to All

WELL, from reading what you did on my MRI report, do I have what wouldbe considered a structuraly abnormal heart? Since the signal echo test was normal, my cardiologist does not believe i have RVD. I am now, not worried about myself, but for the future of my daughter and my precious grandchildren.
Lennin, you have time now to help me with questions for the electeo doc wed. PLEASE..WHAT WOULD YOU ASK?? If this were you? Pika has raised some issues that ii hadn't considered. I will ask him about those. It says that overall the right ventricle wall is slightly less than expected. I am going to call the radiologist again tomorow an dask her to PLEASE get her associate she said she would get, to take a look see at the MRI film. I still am in SHOCK that I took the test, and still no affirmative answer. It does amtter..I have family that may need to be genetically tested. i feel electro is going to want to put ICD in. Cardiologist says to just live my life. HUH???
REMEMBER the report says increased signal ( what does that mean, canot find it on the net) making it "concerning for' but NOT diagnostic of..RVD..
The weather is unusually cold and going to be icy here in Austin Tx., and it is VERY, VERY depressing today. I keep having bad dreams whenI "doze" off. My mind is literally exhausted. I wil persevere one way or the other. I want to live to see my grandbabies grow! i am 48 and too young to become a cardiac cripple. I may have to have the ICD...and I DON'T WANT IT AT ALL... but then again.. it could just end up saving my life.
A HUGE QUESTION I HAVEN'T SEEN ON HERE.. EXCEPT FROM ME
How many of you have the difibulators you can purchase like they havein airports etc. Wouldn't you all feel safer if you had one at home? I know I may bee going off on the deep end here... thank you to ANYONE with thoughts and Prayers, and QUESTIONS you would have if this were you.. Hugs to all.. Mimi

Re: Lennin..kenkeith,timber...to All

mimi,

Let THEM do the talking and record everything if you need to. Don't jump in for an implantable pacemaker in a hurry...think about it long and hard.
Just keep asking...
WHAT are you CERTAIN that I have?
WHAT are you CERTAIN that I should do about it?
WHY?
Keep them focused on topic.

Take daily aspirin to prevent clotting.

Get an Rx for diazapam.

Hi mimi. Unfortunately I don't think any of us can really answer those questions. It will help when you get a more certain diagnosis.
