    Now I take 80mg Latuda and 100mg Trazodone.
    I'll post my latest blood work as soon as I get it but I have the better part of a month to go till my next appointment so it will be a little while still.

    The heart has recovered. I don't need a pace maker and I take meds that make my heart beat slower and pump harder, Carvedilol 12.5mg twice a day.
    the last ultra sound of my heart showed that I'm at 50% heart function now and I was told 50% - 60% is normal. I only see my cardiologist every 6 months now.
    I actually dug up the first testicle ultra sound results from around the same time as that old blood work. I was never given a copy of the latest testicle ultra sound results but I know
    it said the calcium is still there in the left testicle, that's all it showed the past two ultra sounds. My last doctor said there was nothing to worry about because
    it hasn't changed and shrugged it off not even acknowledging the issues with pain. I disagree with some of whats said in that ultra sound report such as the pain has always been left sided not the right like the report says. Also this old ultra sound says there is a calcium pearl on the scrotal wall but the last three ultra sounds I've had show calcium in the left testicle.

    Ahh sorry I misread what you asked about the heart problem yes the heart problem was years after the blood work. They said it was a virus to the hear due to a cold or some infection that my body couldn't fight off very well right away and when my body made anti bodies to fight the infection the protein layer around the infection is so close to the protein layer of the heart that my body was attacking the heart too. this caused an enlarged heart and I had water on the heart and lungs. I'm much better now. I was put in the hospital last year on April 1st. My mother thought it was an April fools joke.

    So I know this ultra sound is years old now, and I don't have the issue with hydroceles anymore, to my knowledge. But is that something that should have been addressed?
    I'm not 100% sure what that was, I just read something about a fluid sack around the testes. Seems like they should have done something about it back then.
    I'm not sure what would cause this type of issue, or how long it was there.
