Jun. 24th, 2011 09:10 pmThough he had to wait many hours for a call back from the doctor after reporting the incident (which was something like 8 AM and he called them around noon? IDK but at 3:15 or so my mother said he'd been waiting three hours, and it was sometime between 4 and 6:30 when he got a response), apparently the data was good, but it made them change their diagnosis, from what they had thought before from the EKG to something like some kind of problem/irritation (?) in the upper heart muscle/valves? (the word "bruise" was used but I think that's an analogy and not literal). Their first line of attack is upping his beta blocker dose, since apparently, unlike many people his age, his blood tests don't show problems with the kidneys not being able to adequately eliminate the drug (atenolol). But if that doesn't do it he may be on a drug merry-go-round for a while (*eyeroll*) before, if none of that works, they will resort to implanting a defibrillator.
