I had pre-clampsia when i had my daughter 2 years ago and she was born prematurely and now i am expirence change of color in my legs and feet, low blood pressure, and my resting pulse goes down to 47 beats per minute. My doctor is scheduling an echo but my mom thinks its more important and an echo should be done now. How should i approach this situation?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
In addition to an echo, you should have an ECG done to look at the rhythm and rate of the heart .
An ECG can also give an idea about enlargement of any areas as well.
The ECG may be easier to schedule and would give some answers to any heart issues that may be occurring.
I hope this helps
