Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I went to the cardiologist yesterday. He said all of my valves are leaking. But not to the point I need valve replacement. I also have irregular heartbeats and angina. He has identified my blacking out spells as heart related syncope. He put me on a medication Atenolol which will fix the problem. He said it is non-psychotropic and should cause me no problems with other meds or LBD. We will see. I see the psychiatrist May 16th who is taking me off of all of my meds except for heart and I see my neurologist May 23rd for my MRI and EEG results. I already know the MRI came out normal. However the hospital will not release the EEG results to me. They say they are being held pending the doctors authorization to release. Hmmmm. Thats all for now .

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 HI Dirk, My mom has been taking Atenolol for years - she's had LBD for 7 years now. Hope that the doctors are able to fix your heart soon. Courage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
