Heart Issues

Suffice to say that I am very nervous about having this echocardiogram done.  I know that Congestive Heart Failure is a manageable condition and that it is unlikely that I have it due to my age...   BUT...  it would be a life changing condition for me.  I prefer to stay active, to stay in control. I wouldn't be in control of this. I have noticed since tey have mentioned this that my chest is hurting now more than I've noticed before. Placebo effect? Maybe.  I've been told to watch my stress level.  Sure, I am watching it skyrocket. I've been told I need to lose 30 pounds and then we will re-evaluate the weight I should be.  I've been trying to lose weight. I could understand if I ate chocolate and junk all the time.  I am actually putting on more weight now than I did when I would sit and eat a quart of ice cream at a time!  I will keep everyone posted but I am very nervous about this test. Please Pray.
