James here...

Thanks. I have a consult and an stress echo next Monday. My primary agrees
with you that we need to rule out possible causes and Marfan runs in my
family so I will be glad to have this test and see what is really going on
under the hood. I will discuss the impact of diuretics and singers, I think
he is just trying the get the BP down fast. It is great to have you
knowledge and voice on this list !

James
