I've finally heard from my doctor about my echocardiogram. The aorta and left atrium of my heart are enlarged, but not to the point where they're abnormal for someone of "my size." (336lbs/5'8") So, for my edema problems, he's checking me for vascular/circulation issues to see what's causing my swelling. It's apparently not heart related.
@LnzyHou It's not *bad* news. I still wonder about the matter that my left atrium and aorta are enlarged, when three previous echocardiograms showed no enlargement at all. This is a sudden change, since my last echo was done in April of this year. My doctor doesn't seem too concerned, however. Go figure. Anyway, my leg swelling and my weight gains are being caused by *something,* so we've got to find out what that something is. Vascular doctor is next up to bat.
