Today was the trip to the cardiologist. Jamie was kind enough to attend this appointment with me. We waited for an hour to even go back and I went a little crazy waiting because I had an appointment time for a reason. Once we FINALLY got called back the Dr came in like 5 min later and talked to us. He asked me 3 times if I smoked. Seriously... it was no the first time and in 3 min I didn't take up smoking. However besides that the Dr. K is much more enjoyable than Dr. S. When he listened to my heart he heard... A MURMUR! Dr. S was so sure I didn't have a murmur which is quite annoying to me now. Dr. K said yes indeed you do have a murmur and I hear it. He made me do fast breathing like I was hyperventilating. Apparently that was just to see if I would pass out or not. Well I didn't!
He decided that I should have a stress test done. He also sent out for my records at the previous Dr's office. The stress test that they are doing isn't just the normal walk on the treadmill thing. I get an ultra sound of my heart and then I do the treadmill test and followed up by another ultrasound to compare. Hopefully my heart will act up so I won't be considered completely crazy!
I am glad that Dr. K did hear the murmur because that just means I'm not crazy... At least not too crazy!
This is a blog where I have been able to open up and express myself. My hopes, my dreams, my struggles, my successes, my LIFE! I hope you enjoy reading about life through the eyes of me. Thank you so much for stopping by and reading.
For some reason my heart always shows normal with the stress test but not on the holter monitor. My murmur is functional and I hope yours is too.
