Heart....

Well, I went for my stress test today...the ol ticker is not doing well. I am on a heart monitor for the next three weeks then I go back to the cardiologist on the 4th week to discuss the monitoring and decide what route will be best for me. He showed me the pacemaker today and explained it because that seems to be what is coming. I actually asked him about the heart muscle being weakened due to the weight loss ( I have lost 175 pounds now) and he said that it IS possible however he had never seen anyone that had that issue because NORMALLY your heart will get stronger as you lose the weight. I have a family history of heart disease as well so that may have affected it too. I will know more in the next few days when the cardiologist reads the echo and test results. They are monitoring me 24 hours a day and will call if my heartrate drops to a dangerous level again so I can come back in. I will keep y'all updated as I find out more info. Thanks for all the prayers and support, Shree
