Gina, go for the echo - it's a very easy test - not as quick as an EKG, but you just lie on a table and they smear some gel on your chest and then use a little metal thing to rub around your chest to do the echo - it's like the thing they use to find the babies heart rate when you are preggers. It takes about 20-30 minutes and then the doctor will read it. It would be worth doing, just to be sure everything is OK.
I think everyone should have heart tests - there is so much that can be done to fix heart problems, medication included. If you leave heart problems untreated, then that is when you have real problems. Even untreated high blood pressure can have severe complications.
So, GET THAT ECHO, Gina.
