At What Point Should I Request An Echo Cardiogram To See If I Have A Heart Disease?
I've had high blood pressure for 10 years. It is controlled with Atacand 16 mg and 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide per day. Heart problems run in my family. My father died at 46 yrs old from massive heart attack. His father died at 52 yrs old. I am a 53 yr old female. At what point should I request an echocardiogram to see if I have any damage. I do have bad headaches and extremely sore eyes (like pressure) and NO energy although I work fulltime. Thanks for your time
