Mom had an appointment today with her heart doctor. He said that she will see more of these "episodes" because of her age. Her heart is just tired, and can't always run right. The question lies in whether these are hurting her quality of life. He said that she probably has been having these for years, and they are now getting to the point that she is feeling them or noticing them more. He is going to up one of her medicines for now and she has to call him each time she has an issue. Then, he will analyzes the times and frequency when he sees her again. So, right now we are in a holding pattern. I am glad that he didn't dive right into surgery - but that is still a possibility.
