Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi friends, I recently got some cardiac tests done and would like to share the reports with all of you. LIPID PROFILE 1.S.Cholestrol 282mg/dl (normal range is120-240) 2.HDL Cholestrol 50mg/dl (normal>60 for females ) 3.LDL Cholestrol 194.2mg/dl (normal range 60-150 ) 4. Ratio of Cholestrol 5.64 (normal range 0-4.5 0 My Cholestrol has never been high, though I have been taking prednisone for 13 yrs .This is a new devlopement Secondly my 2D-Echo report says SKEWED VIEWS OBTAINED I asked the Cardiologist what the pulmonary pressure was , he said he could not measure it because the heart had moved to a position where he was not able to measure the pressure, he said only an invasive procedure would help measure it. my question is can anyone here tell me if it means i will never know if i have pulmonary hypertension?has this happened to anyone else? I have yet to show this report to my pulmo..every thing else was ok in the Echo The ECG said Q in AVL i dont understand it Bruce or Beth could throw some light here. in blood work all seems normal exceptESR Is 24 mm/1st hr As you all know I have been stable for quite a while now I am on 10mg of prednisone, cannot go lower ,and i need 2-3 lit of o2 at rest and 6 to 7lit on exertion. Since a few days i am getting severe pain in my legs upper part , only during the night it wakes me up from my sleep, it goes away as soon as i wake up, it seems to be muscular. My doc told me on the phone to get my Potassium levels checked. My quetion is why this sudden onset of muscular pain the new medications are Assurance and lasix , but that too since 3 month why now? will be happy to get reactions Geeta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
