Yesterday I had a heart stress test done again. If you follow my blog you know that I suffer from heart palpitations and my cardiologist has indeed found that I suffer from an irregular heartbeat/PVC (premature ventricular contraction) so he wanted to see how I did when my heart was under stress and look at my heart again through an echogram. I've done these before but the last cardiologist I went to said "You are fine. There's NOTHING wrong with you..." and he sent me on my way. *sigh* That was almost 2 years ago. I've still been having those episodes and heart palpitations and pain and all that yucky stuff in the meantime. Well... I ended up in the ER not too long ago with chest pain. The worst chest pain I've ever had so of course, I was told to go to Emergency Room. They ran test and something did come up on my EKG/ECG test. One little line that raised eyebrows to the ER doc. He said he did see something and that I should definitely get it checked out with a cardiologist. *sigh* So there I go again... had to go through the whole process to get approval to see one again. And FINALLY someone is actually giving me answers about what I'm feeling. Even my Primary Care doctor couldn't give me an answer! Anyway... this Cardiologist seems to be taking me a little more seriously than the other one and when I described those symptoms to him he said "That IS an irregular heartbeat. We just have to find out with some tests if you need to be put on medication for it or if you'll be fine without them." So AHA! I do suffer from PVC's! Thank you LORD! Finally someone knows what they are doing! LOL Of course, I'm not happy to hear that I suffer from this but at least I know what it is that is wrong with me! I'm now wearing a holter monitor for 30 days
and hopefully it picks up my PVC's so he can see how severe they are. I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm sure he'll be telling me "Yes, you do have PVC's but you will LIVE and you will BE FINE. You will just have to learn to live with them!" Which I have now for a while. I always contributed it to anxiety or nerves... but never severe enough to bring it up to anybody. But as I've gotten older they have gotten a LOT worse. Oh well... at least I'll have some peace of mind now, right? [smile]
Other than that, this weekend was great. Tomorrow I have a photo session with some clients. Really excited because it will be a cake smash for a little 1 yr old girl. That'll be fun and interesting, right!?
I'll end this post with a little 80's mix for you to listen to! I'm an 80's/90's girl so these jams really make me stop what I'm doing to dance and sing! Enjoy....
