Jess, you should ask your doctor to do or refer you for an ECG, a tracing of your heart rhythm, to determine if there has been any damage to your heart. I can't believe that your doctor took this so lightly. Maryanne, your comment about how GPs should check for heart or blood pressure problems is right but remember that there are many cardiac problems that won't surface by taking someone's blood pressure or listening to their heart and often it is not until there is a crisis situation that the cardiac problem comes to light so drugs like Reductil are not safe for anyone because no one can necessarily predict when a cardiac problem might strike. So Paris, take note.
