Wearing this event monitor is seriously getting OLD! If I wasn't paranoid before I am now...Strange how the paranoia over every little skip or twinge can sneak up on you...I am at war with myself over that!
I have every confidence that there is probably NOTHING wrong with my heart...and that this all has to do with my uncontrolled high blood pressure...
However.... I will be much more confident if they give me a stress test in the end to know for sure. I want this to be so DONE!
Meanwhile I will try not to pitch this King of Hearts monitor out the window! :devil:

Well I have been flagged by the cardiac monitoring center :thumbup:...I am doing a happy dance..not that I want anything wrong with me... but relieved that they might have found something. Knowledge is Power and a great cure for the anxiety that all these skipped beats our tickers do to us! They have faxed the latest series of events over to my cardiologist's office. The cardiac tech at the cardiac monitoring center did mention that I have PVC's and runs of PAC's as well.
So we will wait and see...She suggested I call the cardiologist and give them a nudge...
It is certainly not an emergency because I had maintained a sinus rhythm..But my pulse rate was too high when I was walking the dog or climbing stairs...and it took a couple of hours after walking the dog to slow it up. I am already on Verapamil 240mg which is an anti-arrhythmic drug and my Hypertension is not well controlled...so I am positive that some new meds will have me up and ready to go again soon! :boxing:
So here I sit....waiting....To be continued I guess....

Boy these King of Hearts Monitor goes off easily at the slightest touch...I set mine off three times in a row by accident...grrrrr Hopefully my ticker will do something...anything today....:whistler:

My ticker has been amazingly well behaved...isn't that the way of things. My Grandma used to say watch pot never boil...So I am just going on with my day and what will be ....will be period...:whistler:

Yes I have resorted to naming my event monitor :P His name is Marvin..according to my Daughter who gave him his namesake...I figured humor is better than paranoia... LOL
So it is Day 10 sent in more information this morning...just some more skippy type heartbeats to send over the telephone wires...and a cardiac tech who said it came through fine...grrrr The waiting is the worst...not that I think anything is horribly wrong mind you, nor do I feel like I am going to drop dead....(although I must admit I have felt that way when my heart is thumping and doing gymnastics in there!)
It is more a feeling of I just want to get this over with and know what the heck is going on...but I am not impatient or anything ??? :squinch:
Meanwhile, my good friend Marvin sits, attached to my jean pocket just blinking the day away....
