Title: tests
Post by Beanie on Jan 31^st, 2007, 5:54pm

How much can the EKG's and echo's tell about any possible narrowing of the arteries? I have had pvc's for about 4 months, though they are much better than when they first kicked in. 1500/day, now I feel just 10-20 a day. I ask this because I have over several years experienced some lightheadness after about 30 minutes of raking leaves, mowing lawn with push mower and just yesterday after shovelling the driveway. 45 Years old/F about 30 lbs. overweight but active. Should I get this checked out. It goes away after 5 minutes or so. It has happened almost everytime towards the end of doing the lawn, but I play tennis (doubles-but at a high level)and have never felt it. It seems it is with a steady demanding activity. No pvc's during it though. I have read it is common after exercise while the body adjusts, but cause for concern during exercise. My sister who is an CICU nurse says she thinks it may be from dehydration or low blood suger and to eat and drink more before. Thanks
