So scared! Angina with tachycardia, waiting for echo
So I was told I had medium to severe stenosis last year. About 6 months ago I started having lots of tachycardia, palpitations, and fatigue.
I’m scheduled to have another echocardiogram on June 11th, but I’m scared because now I’m having pain (mild ache) with the tachycardia.
I just saw my new cardiologist a few days ago and she set up the echo. She said she’s checking for critical status.
I’m 74 years old and my husband just passed away 6 weeks ago. I’ve been in shock about that and have been in deep grief. I cry every day. Now I face this just when I don’t have the will to face it.
Has anyone else had pain (angina) before their TAVR? I have never felt like passing out, it’s when I stand up or sit down or make a sudden move, that the painful tachycardia starts.
It only lasts a minute or two at most.
I’m just worried that she’s waiting too long for the echocardiogram.
