My Heart


Hey hey hey-

First I would like to thank all of you who have helped me through this rough time in my life and for showing such concern for my health. Means alot! It was pretty scary there for a minute but I am happy to report that I am going to be okay. Met with the cardiologist today and he went over the results of my Echo Cardiogram and the heart monitor that I wore for a week. He said that basically my heart looks and functions normally. I may or may not have Wollff Parkinson White syndrom, but since this isn't really affecting me at this time it;s not worth trying to track it down. I have a leaky tricuspid valve that may be causing the heart palpatations, however, it is uncommon for some one of my age to have that so he said that it is possible that the there was human error on the ultrasound. Either way what we area doing is helping. I am taking a BP med. that regulates my heart rate and Keeps my heart from racing. I will have to have annual Echo Cardiograms to Check on things and if anything gets worse I am suppossed to go back in and we'll re evaluate. He said that I will be fine and that I should just keep on doing what I am doing. So basically, there is something, but it's nothing to worry about at this time. I am grateful to finally have some answers. For the last 4 years I have just been told over and over that I just had to much stress... that it was anxiety. Well, it was more than that. I plan to thank the ER doctor that suggested that I see a cardiologist in the first place. If it wasn't for him taking the time to think outside the box I would still be answerless and miserable. Now I can get back to living my life! Now I just have to get a handle on my PMS and things will be dandy!
Again thank you everyone for being there for me! I love you! And thanks to god above for my health! I have a different outlook on life and I hope to be able to live happier, healthier, and less stressed!

Love CHRISTEN XOXOXOXOXOXOXO :)
