Stress Test Results

Well, the meeting with the doctor today was fairly uneventful, which is good. Results from the stress test were normal – “no blockages.” In fact, the BP today was great – 118/78 🙂

So, I “just” have a mild mitral valve regurgitation. Cause is not known – could have been congenital, but who knows. The doctor said just keep losing weight to take the stress off my heart, and he wants me to get my “bad cholesterol” down below 100. It was 125 in December (which is acceptable), given the BP issues. That reading was 8 months and about 30 pounds ago, so it may have gone down since then anyhow.

Follow-up appointment in 3 months to take blood work and see how the body chemistry looks. Otherwise, things appear to be just fine with my innards.
