Cardiologist update

I just got back.  Basically he ran a few more tests and is sending me to a specialist next week to figure out what to do.  Until then I was told to take it easy and limit my activity.  He wasn't sure why it got worse other than saying it's probably from a number of factors where the stress from the car accident could have worsened it, the increased pressure while scuba diving may have also made it worse (disclaimer: he doesn't dive so he's basically guessing here since I said typically where I dive the pressure is 3-4x greater than air pressure), and likely genetics since cardiovascular issues runs in my family.  It is good though that I have low blood pressure he said too.  So, the saga continues...

I'll keep everyone updated on it as much as I can.  "Talking" about it makes me feel a little better since I basically got from the doctor "I'm not sure what is going on but it doesn't look good."
