Okay so here is a quick update. A couple of weeks ago i went to the doctor and had a treadmill test. Its pretty self explanatory, but what what that is is the hooked me up to an EKG machine and then they put me on a treadmill and had me walk then they would increase the speed and the incline
about every 3 min throughout the test. This test however has shown that my heart is working fine at least that is what the EKG says (an EKG for those of you who don't know just monitors your heart beat). So the doctor decided that we were going to cancel the echo (an ultrasound on my heart) that i had an appointment for and the schedule an cardiac MRI.
That Wednesday I went in for the MRI and other then throwing up the meds that they put in my body though an IV to stress my heart the test wasn't to bad.
Then the doctor appointment after that was the following Monday. the doctor came in and said as far as all the test they did not show anything wrong what so ever. everything looked perfect there was only one small problem. because i threw up the stress test meds the stress test didn't work so we weren't able to find out if my arteries are blocked or not so my options where to forget about trying to figure it out and go check with a doctor who is pretty much an electrician with the heart or for get about my heart entirely and move on to a stomach doctor (cause i have had A LOT of symptoms that have to do with my heart and i guess that there is this huge nerve in your body that connects everything and if one thing has a problem it can make it look like it is something else even though its not) But because if all of the heart problems in my family we decided that it was best to know for sure that it wasn't my heart so we decided to get another kind of stress test done om my heart. the best part of this entire visit was A DOCTOR FINALLY LISTENED TO ME!!!!! I told the doctor about the fact that my energy will just leave me at random points pf the day nothing causing it and all this over stuff about nothing causing the chest pain and disyness and things lik that well he figured that i should be tested for mono ( why i wan't tested for it in the first place i have no clue but ya know who really cares at least i was getting it done)
we went done and got blod taken and the scheduled an apiontment for this other stress test (it starts with a th but i dont remember what in the world ot os called) a week later (this last monday) we went and had the stress test done and in order to do it they put tracers in me that were radioactive making my body the same way (and i will be until about the 13 of october lol) anyway they put me bcak on tyhe treadmill for about 3 min. and guess what was back?!?! the nasty heart stress meds from before they made me sick again but i was able to breath though it (i think it healped not being in a tube and being in an open area instead) so we will figure out the results from that on the 7th of this month and i will you know what the out come is with that.
other then taht life is amazing and great!!! I just had a good friend get home from basic training and it is really good to see him around even if he has to leave again soon. thank you all for being so supportive of me and my health i couldnt get though this with you you rock!!!! I love you all!
