hey guys,
Im really sorry I didnt get back sooner, its been a long couple of days.
I went to the doc's office yesterday morning and saw one of my GP's colleagues (she wasnt in) he said that he isnt very concerned, because there are alot of reasons I could have passed out. He said that according to my cardio my heart is pretty stable, so he isnt very concerned that thats what it is. he gave me several reasons that I could have passed out: dehydration, exhaustion, arrhythmia (bigeminy), the albuterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, or the heat. he also said that I didnt need to go to the ER, and I probably did the right thing by not going to the ER, because they probably would have just ran an EKG and listened to my chest and said they couldnt find anything. he said if I wasnt feeling better soon, or if this happens again, he wants to get me back into the cardiologists office. in the mean time he told me to slow down with the working, get plenty of sleep, and stay hydrated (I dont hold up my BP very well, especially under stress, so they want me to drink tons and tons of fluid) he told me to not use the albuterol unless I was wheezing (what the heck am I supposed to do about the SOB then, not that I like to take the albuterol the 3 or 4 times that I have used it), he also said to make sure my blood sugar stays up.
sssssooooo, I am trying to take this stuff and use it, I am trying to stay hydrated, and have been eating a little better, trying to give up my coffee sleeping more, and I gave my 2 weeks notice at wendys this morning......
I'm still tired, and short of breath, I got short of breath walking to the garden today, and I got short of breath in the shower yesterday so I dont know what good its doing me, but its only been a day, so Im just gonna humor him, and see what happens, I dont really want to go back to the cardiologists so soon.
I am kind of bummed out right now, I hate the way I am feeling and I am totally PO'd that I did this to myself, I am just hoping that it turns its self around. I guess this is a lesson in realizing one's limits, and sticking to them, as sucky as it is. Not many people around me understand the "limits" concept, and I think I am one of them.
The same theme seems to ring through yet again: Im a freaking 20 year old, I shouldnt have to deal with this, I should be able to ACT and DO things like a 20 year old. The fact that people around me believe this makes it harder to deal with because I feel "judged" when I dont act like a 20 year old, or when people cant "see" my symptoms because things will be said like "you look fine" "your not short of breath". people dont understand that you can be short of breath without breathing a million miles an hour......
well, enough ranting for now, I gotta get going....I still have to get in the shower before I head out to town
thanks again
