Another health issue...

Just got home from the doctor...I think my strength and endurance is really being tested. This morning I woke up and was really groggy and tired so I decided to sleep for another 30 minutes which turned into an hour. The entire time I was in the shower I was yawning. I thought about just calling off work and spending the day in bed. But I figured once I got going I would be fine. After I got dressed I noticed my heart was racing. For a moment I thought I had just rushed too much getting ready. So I took some deep breaths and it was still racing. My breathing was fine. So when I got in my car I called my mom who is an RN. Typically she tells me I'm overreacting, but this time she said "you need to call your doctor". I was like what...no, you're suppose to tell me it's going to be o.k. and to stop worrying. She said I needed to check my pulse and probably needed an EKG. So when I got to work I went to the student health center to see the nurse. My heartrate was 150, she told me I needed to go to the ER. I asked her if I could just see my PCP, so she called over to them. Then she told me I couldn't drive and she didn't even want me to walk back upstairs to my office. So my boss came down and took me to the doctor. By the time I was seen, my heartrate was back to normal. They did and EKG and hooked me up to a Holter monitor for 24 hours. This was my PCP partner, my PCP wasn't in the office today. She said not to drive home, and if my heartrate goes back up to get to the nearest ER. So my boss brought me home. And I'm taking tomorrow off except for the cranial duplex I have scheduled for tomorrow. I told my boss that if I was a horse I would have already been taken to pasture and shot. O.K. feels a little better to have put all of this into words. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I know it could be something minor, but with everything else I am dealing with there is just too much on my mind. It is also hard for me to ask others to help me...like needing a ride to the doctors and home, and now tomorrow I will need a ride back. Sarah Margaret
