Cardiologist on board

David saw Dr. Henry Clemo (his wife Dr. Lynne Clemo is his internist.) the cardiologist today on the advice of his internist because he is tired and short of breath. His heart if "throwing" extra beats causing the pacemaker to be ineffective.  He prescribed a medication to try to regularize the beat and did an echocardiogram.  David will see him again in two weeks to see how the meds work and discuss the results of the echocardiogram.  Side effects can be numb extremeties, vivid dreams, dizziness, fainting.  If he can't tolerate them he can halve the pills.  He is not happy about it but wants to regularize his heart so he'll do it.  Next Tuesday is his lung and neck CT to see what's going on with his lungs, as well as a routine follow-up from the cancer surgeries.  Stay tuned.
