I was diagnosed 3/8 after calling an ambulance & going to the ER. I see my regular doctor at 11 am today and then get a referral but I understand it takes about six weeks to see the cardiologist, so I may not have any answers for six more weeks. After thinking long and hard about it, I cannot believe that two glasses of wine would do this to my heart, unless I have been under stress and there were other factors as well. I'm not a heavy drinker. But, thanks for responding. This is an interesting journey so far. It's scary. I have been reading it can reduce your life span too. I was shooting for living for 20 more years, but between this and my osteoporosis I'll be lucky to make it 15 more. I wanted to see all my grandchildren grow up and be mobile and not have dementia--but we all can't get what we want.
