Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Stress echo test showed possible problem at 134 beats per minute. I wasn't able to hit target pulse rate of 140 due to extreme leg cramp. Test were deemed inconclusive. But recommendation was for cardio x-ray and possible angio palsti and stint implant. However, hematocrit is only 33 and Hemoglobin is below normal. Can anemia look like a cardiac related problem when its not? Did stress echo because of complaint of chest burning when walking long distances/erexertion. Did not have this symptom during test.
