​@@DanSwerdlove-wb5jl I'm surprised you would think of loop diuretics first. Actually, clinical evidence that these diuretics significantly change lithium concentrations (without underlying fluid imbalance/hemodynamic instability) is almost nonexistent. I would be very scared for this profession if my students didn't know about the interaction with drugs that acutely reduce the GFR like NSAID (except sulindac), ACEi, ARB and HCTZ significantly and rapidly increasing the serum lithium. Sorry, I had to clarify. Also, hope this helps some collegues ;)

I was allowed to keep the "piece of paper" (I am not sure how you call it, English is not my first language). For some weird reasons I felt very proud of myself for having a healthy heart as if I achieved something lol. It's been hanging on my bedroom wall since then

At every checkup at cardiology, I always get an EKG and then and echo. Then an appointment with my cardiologist to discuss the results. The first test is NEVER mentioned in that conversations. ONLY the echo results, every time. And some times he says "well the results seem to be a bit different from last year, but not enough to be significant, so I'm ordering an MRI as well" and then the MRI shows no difference either 😂

[@dL-lw7pi]

Yes it's standard. There are two broad categories or atrial fibrillation: valvular and non-valvular (essentially "is a problem with a heart valve involved"), and the treatment may be different depending on the results of the echo. Hope you are Ok!

Oh man, I've met with quite a lot of cardiologists in the past few months. Started going to the gym, started feeling sick and faint while exercising. My dad was teaching me how to use gym equipment at the time and he got worried because I was yawning so much and he thought there was something wrong with my heart and I wasn't getting enough oxygen. Pushed me to get checked out. EKG showed an extra beat and the regular doctor pointed me to a cardiologist. Long story and a Holter belt and a MRI later, turns out I have a massive amount of premature ventricular contractions, a slightly enlarged left chamber(I think that's the right English term) and a lowered ejection fraction. They have no idea why, but I'm glad it was caught and I have the proper medication now! Having an ultrasound of my heart was a fun experience too, because the cardiologists were talking all kinds of mumbo jumbo between each other while I just laid there confused with my titties out lmao.

"I just laid there confused with my titties out" I've definitely been there. It was my first childbirth, turned emergency cesarian. I had a surgical gown, but got INCREDIBLY hot, and then the baby coded. They got him back, but I was also confused with my titties out.

[@seams4186]

Oh man, finding this comment is both fortunate and unfortunate. I have been going to the gym for two years now on and off. Not much since I got into med school. But the last couple weeks I just felt sleepy during workouts and yawned a lot, ONLY while training. I've been worried about it for a couple months but hadn't worried enough to actually go to the doctor.

I can relate, my baby has a single ventricle heart and I constantly have to educate medical professionals on his condition. Luckily his cardiologist is awesome. In fact the last time he was in hospital she stopped in to help with the echo because "the poor sonographer has never seen a hypoplastic left heart before", the hospital cardiologist decided to watch the echo because "it's been years since I've seen a Sano shunt". 😆
