hello i have been morbidly obese for over 20 years and have had high blood pressure at times. since last year i have been dieting and exercising and lost 90lbs(down to 360, nany more to go). During a routine check up i had an abnormal ekg, was referred to a cardiologist for a nuclear stess test and echo. at this point my blood pressure was good(122/80). The stress test showed lvh but everything else normal. echo came back with moderate to severe lvh and stage 2 diastolic dysfunction with an EF is 65. I honestly feel like i have none of the usual symptom, even while lifting weights and running. the PA told me because my EF and blood pressure is normal that theres no reason for any medication and to just keep losing weight and maintaining blood pressure, which i plan to do. she basically said it wont improve but i can stop it from getting worse. i would love to hear the thoughts of people with similar experiences or knowledge, as i am considering getting a 2nd opinion just for peace of mind. thanks
