[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 77627, member: 3388"] Heather, Thanks for posting this. There is some history of heart disease in my family. I have a well-visit scheduled for tomorrow. I can't believe it, but it's been over two years since my last one!!! I had one scheduled in July but the doctor's office called just as I was ready to leave and said the appointment had to be rescheduled. (I was good though - I got my labs done and also a bone density test too). So, tomorrow I'll definitely be there!!! One of the things I was going to ask, was whether a stress test would be a good idea. I'm getting older now and do alot of running and other aerobic activities. I always push myself as hard as I can when I'm working out. Before reading your post, I thought a stress test would be all I would need. Thanks again for posting this. You're so right - We know our bodies better than any doctor ever will. We know when something isn't right. It's so unfortunate that as the primary caretakers of difficult children, we always seem to put our own health on the back burner. Thanks for the wake-up call. I know lots of others besides myself probably need it. WFEN [/QUOTE]
