For my readers who have been following my on-going heart scare since January 4 of this year, I am happy to report that my 45 year old heart is 100% back to normal.
I had an ECHO (ultrasound) performed on Tuesday, and an EKG performed this morning. My doctor reports that all is well.
My doctor believes that the flu virus attacked my heart, weakened it, and caused the atrial fibrillation that I experienced earlier in the year. He is joyed that the heart has strengthened itself.
He has also taken me off of the powerful drug, amiodarone which regulates the rhythm of the heart. Amiodarone has lots of side effects, so I am elated to be off this medicine.
Bye Bye and good riddance!
I will see the cardiologist again in 4-6 weeks.
I am so excited that my latest report was stellar. Give me a cocktail!
Thanks to all of my followers for your thoughts and prayers during my heart ordeal.
