Went to the Cardiologist today

So many of you know, and some of you don't, I have a heart condition called Mitral Valve Prolapse. I am sure I have had it all my life, but was diagnosed after Nathan was born. I guess the stress of the pregnancy made it more pronounced. I had palpitations, racing heart rate (actually 90 was my resting rate at the time), I was hot all the time, and barely slept. Not only that but I was losing so much weight that it was scary! When I couldn't fit into a size zero, because it was too BIG, I knew something was awry. I take medicine to slow the heart down and normalize the heart beating. The valve just doesn't close completely sometimes and causes the heart to want to work harder is what I figure to be the case. Anyway, lately I have been having a few more episodes than usual with a racing heart rate so my cardiologist has put me on a 24-hour monitor to see what all is happening. If nothing happens then she wants to put me on 30-day monitor instead. Keeping fingers crossed that they see something in the next 24 hours that gives indication as to what is going on. It could just be the stress of having been sick all these weeks with the Fifths disease, or it could be the stress from the death in the family, or maybe even the stress of moving to a new work building. Who knows? Any or all of it could do it I suppose. Right now I feel like a spy or something with all the leads everywhere and the main box in my pocket. Pretty weird. Later I might have Randy take a picture of it to put on the blog.
