I dont like the fact that Im getting used to this...
Well two posts ago...I wondered what was wrong with me...couldnt figure it out...had panic attacks and the like and it just was a thing that constantly bothered me. After going to the Cardiologist and doing some tests...he said I was fine...
Stress test: I completed 10 minutes of that...90% of the test...he said this was good and he was very happy I got that done.
Echocardiogram: This turned out fine too...cept my heart is a little thicker than normal...should be 1cm thick at the walls...mine are 1.1-1.2 cm thick...with losing weight, this will go down and I will be ok...blood flow is good. good to know the ticker works...still always think something is wrong with it though...dont know why....maybe its because its such a big thing in my family and lucky me...Im a big dude.
Halter moniter: He didnt really see anything there either that could identify anything.
Basically he just said that panic attacks sometimes happen and that all of my tests came back fine...just loose some weight.
Since then...I dont think I have had any panic attacks...I have had some small moments where I get freaked out all of a sudden...but thats it...dont know what that is. I told him I have some light chest pains...more of a discomfort...only in the afternoon and evening sometimes. He said not to worry because everything was fine. I figure it might be stress related? He put me on some Norvasc and Avalide.
So then....my throat has been closing up on me...feels like it...so I went to a family doctor and he put me on some Flonase and Allegra to get it out...and since that didnt really clear me up...he gave me some Tequin as well. I think that has helped...but it just still feels like my breathing is not quite right...cant really describe it. Went back there today for a physical and he took a chest x-ray...said my lungs look fine...but he was concerned about a white mass (dont remember how he said it)...I think he was talking about the vessels or arteries or veins or whatever that stuff is in the middle of my chest...he said it seemed larger than normal...or a little bigger...I dunno. He was going to send it off to a radiologist and have them look at it to see what they think. Cardiologist said everything was fine...so now Im confused. the take-a-leak in a cup test was fine as well...and I need to get the blood taken...but that always comes back fine with suprisingly low cholesterol and looks fine.
Marcie (ju: Marciehelen) says Im a hypochondriac. Mainly because lately, I always think something is wrong with me. I dont think I am...it just to me...feels like something isnt quite right. I dont know how to describe it; but I just dont feel good overall. Maybe its depression or something...no idea. Before feb of last year....I never went to the doc...maybe once a year at most...since then....I have been to a doc or a quick clinic...including cardiologist.....14 times at least since Feb 04....mostly since August.
Anywho...Im sure you didnt really want to read a post about my health...but Im trying to get back into the habit of writing more on here...but I always seem to write and then just give up. I even had started one the other day...but then after leaving it sit in my broswer overnight...the stupid page refreshed and I lost it.
