Ageing and adjusting to a new normal is a challenge. Have had a bad concussion, heart issues, and just getting
through hormone and chemo for prostate cancer. Biggest issues are fatigue and depression.
Have done cycle touring since 2006 and would like to return to that.
My ever caring wife, positive friends, getting out for walks every day, hoping for a better future.
Is a never ending battle to find root cause for symptoms. Wish you the best.

@bryanta
After months of labs and tests I may be getting closer to cause of symptoms.
(fatigue, balance, light headed, always cold, depression)
I failed Echo Stress test exercise. Next may be coronary angiogram.
Low blood flow (blockage?)

I have had several ECHO and EKG tests before but none have shown restricted blood flow.
I have little faith in a lot of the tests that are done and when listing symptoms that
they should point to a possible cause. Upper and Lower limits for blood tests are not always right.
