Doppler tests aren't just done on the heart, but on arteries elsewhere too. It's just a diagnostic tool to examine blood flow.
Mups, hope your GP can give you some reassurance - have you discussed your worries?
You're right Ania, I do know why I'm having the test.
Its because I get a lot of cramping pain in my calf muscles when I walk, and its bloomin' unpleasant and stops me going as far or as fast as I would like.
They've done CRP and ESR tests and they were o.k. so now its the Doppler next. I admit I am anxious because heart conditions are very much in the family.
Another busy day tomorrow because I've got a telly repair man coming at 9.30, then over to Mum's to change her pain relief patch, plus meet with the District Nurse, then off for this bloomin' test on my legs after that.
Oh well, fingers crossed ey.
