Hi HT,
Thanks for checking in...going tomorrow for Echo. Should know more then. Hope you are doing well and that your weather wherever you are is not too cold. I am in FL, turning colder and going to rain here today.
Hi again HT,
I had the echo but do not know the results yet. I found some old notes from the prior Echo I had and it mentioned mild pulmonary hypertension. I am pasting it here so you can see also. Not sure my doctor is reading all this stuff....
