Last weekend I was having chest pains all weekend. I decided Monday morning I should go to the doctor. They did chest x-rays, an EKG and blood work and then sent me home with a Halter Monitor that I needed to wear for 24 hours. That evening I was laying on the couch and I started to get a really weird feeling and my heart started racing and I couldn't stop shaking. Bob called 911 and the paramedics took me to the ER. They monitored me there for awhile and took the x-rays, EKG and blood work all over again. They decided that I did not have a heart attack. I had an appointment for an echocardiogram this past Friday. When I went in for that they had some of my blood work back and said that my thyroid levels were elevated. They have increased my dose of thyroid medicine (which could the cause of this) and then today I had a stress test. It went pretty well (only 9 minutes on the treadmill!) I will have the results to that tomorrow afternoon. I don't have the results to my eco yet.
I'll keep you informed as to my results and please keep me in your prayers. And thank you for everyone who has already been praying!
