Are you having any other symptoms?

Wait until the thymus scan and see what your neuro says.

Has anyone tested you for a blood clot? Some people who have IVIG can get one. Just a thought, don't panic!

Did you get the records of your heart scan? I recommend reading them.

Are you sure they checked for pulmonary hypertension?

What's your blood pressure like?

I'm not sure what to think. Maybe your MG is just bad right now.

Don't forget that things change over time and it's been three years since the last cardio check. You might want to see one again and ask about an echocardiogram (ultrasound).

I hope you get it all figured out!!!

No blood clot! That was checked last week thanks to my PCP. I ended up having issues with the iodine though. Update is I'm in hospital. Had stress test donee today. Lots of ischemia alerts going on last night in E R blood pressure got to 173/103 and I've been bradycardia a lot got as low as 47 during the day but everyone kept putting it on my former athtletism. Will get results of stress tests in am but now on aspirin and BP meds and on heart monitor also will see GI doc in morning.
