@nemo1 I came across your post with questions /concerns regarding “heart rate change”. It came up in the Diabetes & Endocrinology Group (where I usually hang out) and a discussion pertaining to thyroid. I hope I’m on track here. I saw your profile and noticed that you have posted in about 10 different groups & discussions. From what I read about your many conditions & symptoms you seem to have A LOT going on! A change in heart rate often gets higher priority attention. You mentioned that you were seeing a Dr. regarding the pain & swelling in your feet and calves. What did you find out? Did you also discuss your concerns about heart rate? Most Drs of any specialty will pay attention to that.

Thank you for what you said. I had a cardiology appointment the other day. I’m wearing a halter monitor for 15 days and will have an echo done. I had blood work done. He’s doubling up on cholesterol meds. Not changing medication yet. Wants to see what’s going on with the heart rate fluctuations. He felt swelling (same leg I have problems).
Mentally I feel stronger. We shall see. Sometimes I’m down but today I’m better. Maybe because I am going to get answers to long standing questions.
He told me to go back to the pulmonologist about the breathing issue and cpap machine. I see the pulmonologist in 2 weeks. I see the urinologist next week…It takes effort to make it to appointments. Paratransit rides take a long time to pick up. Standing is an issue. Oh well. Can’t have it all! Lol.
I hope she does not delay dx by saying I need a LP. One step at a time.

Thank you for your reply. I have a lot of health stuff going on. It’s very disheartening. But I plod along.
I did run it past my cardio whom i see on Tuesday but he was not concerned. I have to tell you, with the nerve and muscle stuff thats been happening, that he is unaware of (try to fit my health into one posting is impossible). Even though he said that, what could explain the dip.
I have to schedule an appt follow up with endocrinologist (i see her for diabetes and now the recent thyroid finding) to see what that means.
I’m just scared. I’m handling everything else but the heart rate threw me. Still does.
By the way, I was scheduled to see the pcp to see if she’d order a sonogram. I had a horrible night with spasms and was up all night. I had a hard time walking. I called her and cancelled telling them I am having a hard time walking. They kept saying to come in. Rescheduled appt. that was regarding the leg and not any other stuff I have going on.
I’m hope I answered your question. I have an appt re: leg in a ridiculous two weeks. I will see if the cardiologist is concerned about it.
I drink extra coffee to keep my hr in the 70s…I appreciate your reaching out. I’m in the middle of a diagnosis…getting one (another) and have an MRI, CT and possible spinal tap coming up. Its all not soon enough because I cant’ be treated until they are sure what it is. It is very disturbing.
Thanks for “listening”.
