The ultra sound tech could tell that I was struggling to breathe ~ I just hope that the echocardiogram is a 'pass

Wednesday's Echo-Stress Test was inconclusive - at least when it comes to finding the cause of my symptoms. However, it definitely confirmed something is not as it should... feet away from my nurse and the doctors she worked under.
