Cardiologist Call 11/16/2020

I really like my cardiologist. She called me again today in response to a message I sent her late last week. Instead of writing a reply, she decided to call instead. I had asked her about the “aggressive” dialysis comment from the UCLA transplant cardiologist and she said the echocardiogram showed I still have fluid in my lungs. She recommended that I stop taking my hypertension medication before dialysis so there is more “room” for the blood pressure to drop as the machine removes excess fluid. I told her that the dialysis center was already removing more fluid, and last two sessions showed a drop in blood pressure instead of the typical increase. Anyways, she ordered another echocardiogram to be done in about two week. Hopefully I will be rid of the pulmonary edema and UCLA will be satisfied with the health of my heart.
