Hypertension Diagnosed

Can you please share your experience? what was the result of ecg and other tests?

We aren’t cardiologist here. Doubt people will know if their ecg had things like P waves with increased amplitude.

If the doctor isn’t concerned with irregularities or issue should be resolved by medication it shouldn’t be an issue.

I had my medicals today, and a heart murmur was detected. I have had doctors mention it before, but no one ever pushed me for further testing. I was referred to a Cardiologist. I'm submitting my PR application this weekend. Does anyone know how soon I need to see the cardiologist? Is it as soon as possible? Is there a must have it done by date? I'm traveling for work in the next two weeks so I won't have time until after.

After your business trip is fine. Medicals won’t be passed until it is verified that the murmur isn’t an indication of more serious cardiac issues. Strange that you were never referred to a Cardiologist before or even just basic bar disc testing/imaging.

Thanks for the reply. Well I didn't have health insurance for the longest time, so I didn't do any wellness checkups for a good amount of time.

Btw, I know you have a year to land from your medical test, do you happen to know if you need further testing is it still a year from the initial testing? Or a year from the most recent test?
