I do not have EKG results yet; had the EKG a week ago tomorrow. Pdoc wanted the EKG prior to changing meds. I will call her in the AM and see what is holding us up. She did not have an appt time to see me this week; yet, we'd agreed to change meds as soon as the EKG results are available.

I'm sorry about your loss too. My grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's when I was in 10th grade, but it was like I had mourned the loss long ago because he just wasn't present with us anymore and reverted to speaking only Czech (his native language) even though he could speak 5 languages fluently before. Even if he had chosen to use Spanish, I could have understood some of that because of taking it in school and living in an area with a high Hispanic population.

Love to All!

I hope you get the EKG results soon. It might be a good idea to call your PCP or whatever doctor set up the EKG and see if they have the results and forgot to call you with them or fax them over to your pdoc. Though hopefully, the long wait means all is well with your heart. I've had them done in the past, and getting results never took that long for me. It seems like blood test results for stuff came back slower, but I'm not sure, it's been awhile since I had my last EKG. It is good your pdoc is monitoring you though and taking all into consideration. One time, my pdoc wanted blood results on some things; they did the them, the results were in because I could see them on the computer, both from the lab and from the PCP's office, and it was taking forever. Turned out the front desk at the pdoc's misfiled the blood results, so my pdoc hadn't seen them yet
