Sounds like a good idea.

Get a full check out on the heart. Might have a blocked artery.
Trucker61016 and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Blocked arteries cause some pain. And require ekg and running on a treadmill.
If you do a blood panel. Make sure it's the full workup and not half of it.
Insurance likes to say it's not necessary so doctors don't even bother. Then a doc comes along and say there's your problem.
Testing was totally necessary. And could have saved alot of money.Trucker61016 and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Going in tomorrrow for a ct scan, followed by respatory testing, So far all blood work looks normal including blood pressure. except for pulse around 100. I have no difficulty breathing, no pain anywhere. but any kind of extercise puts my pulse up.
Any kind of exercise including walking put my pulse up quickly. Maybe EKG after the CT Scan Ill check with the doctor. Running not gappening thoughTrucker61016, FullMetalJacket, Diesel Dave and 2 others Thank this. -
Surprised they didn’t do an EKG already with the high heart rate. That was the first thing they did on me. It only takes two minutes in the office. I was in A-fib. Similar symptoms to yours.
Maybe you meant echo cardio gram after the CT scan.
Good luck with it. -
For any of you guys without insurance, check with the heart hospitals and universities in the bigger cities near you. They often have pretty detailed visits for not much money.
In Arkansas, the Arkansas Heart Hospital has what's called Keep the Beat. You've got to meet certain criteria. IIRC, 25+, no insurance, and not over 500lbd.
It costs 99$ and here's what it offers. When I had my physical done back in May I had a full blood panel done just cause I like keeping an eye in it, and that was $480 bucks alone.
Oxbow, exhausted379 and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Just ignore it. Everything goes away, eventually.
And remember... what does not kill you only makes you stronger.Brandonpdx, Wargames and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Hate to tell you friend, but it’s called getting “OLD”. Welcome to the club. I’m 64. And your symptoms come and go with me. I eat differently and take plenty of supplements.
Wargames, TripleSix and 4mer trucker Thank this. -
You can also walk it off.
