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.

Future budgeting advice for 74 year old widow

Hi all!

I’m concerned about the years ahead and want to make sure I have enough to sustain me if I live another 10 years or so.

I have $100,000 in savings (plan on transferring to HYSA soon). I’ll be getting a total of $4,000 a month from SS, pensions, etc.

Right now I pay $2,200 in rent with all utilities included. Internet is also included. Other misc. bills total around $600. Food is $200-300.

I have Medicare and VA health insurance. I own my car.

I need to move though, because my arthritis is way too painful to keep going up and down stairs (live on second floor). I also don’t need a 2 bedroom anymore.

Any suggestions or advice is welcomed.

I do help my 2 sons financially here and there, as one is totally disabled, and the other is unemployed and is having a really hard time finding a job.

I’ve been using some of my savings to help them. I had $120,000 to start.

Thoughts?

So, I have an automatic 2010 Fit Sport, and it’s been very neglected due to my health issues. I considered buying a new vehicle, but decided I want to keep mine.

I have the finances to do what it takes to bring it back to as new as possible, I just don’t know where to start.

I’m a 74 year old woman and still have health issues, so the work would be outsourced of course. Where do I start?

The body outside is pretty ok except for a few scratches and one tiny dent. The inside needs help. lol

Back of one seat ripped a bit, floors have no mats and look rugged, there are 2 small plastic items missing (I don’t know what they are).

Seats definitely need shampooing, scrubbing!
Everything inside needs major cleaning.

Mechanical it’s pretty good. Needs new tires, oil change. It’s starting to rust underneath just a tiny bit, local shop said wasn’t bad.

Soooo, where to begin, where to have it worked on, etc?

Oh yeah, the headlight coverings are really cloudy. TIA

Edited to add: 110,000 miles
