Tonight, I write about me.This is me, and I'm wearing the latest in fashion.....a Holter Monitor. Yesterday, I didn't know such a thing existed. So far, so good, though.
Yesterday, I had continually annoying heart palpitations, something I've had for years.....intermittently. Yesterday, they were persistent. SO, off to the doctor I went. She ordered blood work, an EKG, and a referral to a cardiologist. The blood work results were good....absolutely no problems there. The EKG, she wasn't sure about, hence the referral.
The cardiologist reaffirmed that my blood work was very good.....and mentioned that parts of it were better than his. He also said he didn't think I had any real problems, but that it was good that I came in, because of my age (really?), and to establish a baseline. SO, just as a precautionary measure, I look like I have a bomb attached to my torso.
A couple more tests coming up, but he seemed really quite sure that all will be fine. He was definitely reassuring, in that he couldn't see any reason for me to have a problem. I hope he's right, and while I'm reassured, I don't think sleeping will come easy tonight. Not because I'm worried, but because of the lovely, multi-colored wire undergarment I must wear to bed.
Sweet dreams.
