Well we have eliminated a few more things and seem to be coming closer to the answer. The Doc said that my chest x-ray is clear, lunges good. The ultra sound ruled out gall bladder and a couple of other things. The liver is enlarged and seems to be fatty. The tests done for kidneys shows they are working okay. The heart monitor showed that the heart is double beating about 80 times an hour.
The fatty liver has him a little concerned but he feels that if I lose 5 to 10 pounds over the next couple of months it should correct itself. The extra heart beats have him a little more concerned. He said we all do it and it increases as the body ages. They get concerned if it starts to throw about 25 to 30 extra beats an hour. I'm over 2 to 3 times that. He doesn't think it is pre-heart attack yet but is concerned enough that he has ordered a stress test. The soonest it can be done is 3 June.
So I am to lose a little weight and can start doing some walking to start getting back into exercise but not to over do it until the stress test.
So some good news, some answers, and some more questions. Looks like I'm going to be around a while longer.
