Had echo done due to some shortness of breath.
Please let me know what you guys think
What did your cardiologist say?
Based on what I see, I don’t see how your shortness of breath is cardiac related. I also have mild-moderate aortic insufficiency and have been sworn up and down by multiple cardiologists it isn’t bad enough to cause shortness of breath. Unless I missed something in your results.

Looks good, but it suggests you have a slightly increased regurgitant load (aortic insufficiency). What is your typical diastolic blood pressure? As another member mentioned, consider a BNP lab test to rule out aortic valve lesions.
thanks for the reply
im usually in the 120s-70s
heart rate however is usually in the low to mid 90s
That's a pretty high resting heart rate. Something to take a look into further.

Could be that I’m on 3iu of seros - idk
It did get into the high 70s last night after I had a phlebotomy yesterday.
Also going for a sleep study since my wife says I snore incredibly loud and said I look like I’m struggling to breathe - but says I don’t stop breathing
Either way I know that can’t be good.
The latter part I can speak with some authority on ....I would definitely get it checked out. I worked with some of the best sleep med physicians in the country for about 8 years in a previous life....apnea is a silent killer.
Agreed. CPAP could be a painless fix.
Thanks guys - going tomorrow to schedule my sleep study
Wish I would have done this years earlier - been snoring for as long as I can remember - even as a 100 pound weakling.
My cousin got the CPAP but told me he sent it back - said he couldn’t handle all
The air pushing thru
Is this a common complaint?
he said it looked ok, but i know this board is full of members - especially NM, who has a long history of echos and i consider an expert.
docs from my experience will say it looks normal and want to get you out to see the next patient.
thanks
hes sending me for a stress test this week....to check for bloackae - and a calcium ct score.
i also snore like a SOB, wonder if that could be contributing to it...planning a sleep study
im 47 and have used on and off since mid 20s.
now im on trt 200mg with blasts of 175 tren and 500 test twice a year for 8 weeks.
your info is always valuable. also, wouldnt mind getting my EF to 60.
NM, I wanted to ask - on my AO ROOT, result says CM
is there supposed to be a number?i imagine CM sy=tands for centimeters but theres no number
