Just wondering if anyone else has developed further issues since the final payout? I started having chest pains last Friday and have an appointment with my cardiologist next week. Does anyone know what the criteria is to consider it further damage? Do I need to get him to do another echo? Thanks so much and I sure hope everyone is having a great summer!

Would not hurt to have an echo. My cardiologist has had me do one every 6 months for the past 10+ years.
Shortness of breath is one of the issues I had recently as well as a slower than normal heart rate because of the heart medications I was on. Very tired also was one of the symptoms.
Hope all goes well & if it gets worse, don't wait for the doctor. Go directly to the ER. I thought I was having a reaction due to low potassium. That wasn't the problem!

Ended up in the ER and being admitted....did an echo, EKG, several bloods tests and a stress test. Thankfully there is no additional heart damage!!!
