...And more doctors
Well... I've had this thing for awhile. I can't say when it started, and I probably should have had it checked out right away just because then at least I would know what it was (hopefully) and it wouldn't get worse if it has, and all that etc etc etc. Anyway, I have this weird heart palpatations. I don't remember when it started. But it's like my heart fluttering. That's what it feels like, I don't know exactly what's going on when it happens, but it feels like fluttering, and a few times it's made the air catch in my throat and made me kind of cough and stuff. It doesn't happen a whole lot, but just sometimes. It only lasts a second at the most. I've noticed it most in the evening...
I told my mom today and she thought that I might be hyper-sensative to caffine, but it doesn't happen ALL the time. I do eat a lot of chocolate, including dark chocolate, so that, to me, doesn't make very much sense. My mom asked if it happened after I had ice cream in the evening, and honestly I don't know, but it doesn't always happen after I have ice cream. And it doesn't always happen after I have chocolate. I mean, I don't eat a ton of chocolate, like if I have any, it would be just one candy bar, or M&Ms or something, I don't tend to have 3 or 4 in one day.
But it's weird, and somehow I don't think it's connected to caffine. It could be, but I don't drink soda or coffee, which are the other major intakes of caffine, right? The other thing is that today, and this has happened before too, I had a stabbing pain in my chest. It wasn't like an attack of shooting pains at any one time, it was sort of a methodical thing, it had a rhythm, I don't know if it was directly linked to my heartbeat or not. It hurt specifically if I was leaning back in the chair, if I sat forward it would go away after a moment, and it wasn't an intense pain, but it was a decent discomfort.
It makes me nervous, and maybe I'm just paranoid because heart problems run on both sides of my family (though mostly for men). I need to make a doctor's appointment. That means shots and bloodwork...haven't been for awhile, haven't needed to. Yeah.. great.
