My cardiac workup results

[Apple86]

Good morning Potsies, I hope everyone is having a (relatively) good week thus far. 

I've received a letter, from the cardiologist at the hospital, revealing my cardiac test results. The problem is I'm not seeing my specialist for another six weeks and part of the letter has made me anxious. Is it normal for PoTS patients to have calcification of the heart (aortic valve in my case)? I'm only 32 and I read that this normally only happens with older people or due to lifestyle factors; I've exercised rigorously all my life and I eat a healthy diet (albeit I used to have anorexia).  

Do my results look "normal" for PoTS patients?

Thank you.

If part of your letter is making you anxious I would contact your doctor. Some of my doctors have a portal and it makes it very easy to just shoot them an email and they get back with me in a day or less.

There are many dysautonomics here,  not all of us have POTS. There are multiple forms of dysautonomia.

Mild calcification can be an early sign of heart disease and not related to dysautonomia. It could be related to your diet and activity and/or genetic. Talk to your doctor about your family history and your lifestyle to set up a long term care plan to keep your heart healthy.  A good diet and active life can be an easy way to keep you at your best.  Good  luck to you, mild calcification is not a serious problem unless you ignore it for decades.
