Whats up Doc
Well I went to the doctor yesterday for the first time since around the time I started this live journal account. I decided to go into the doctors because...
1) I haven't been to the Doctors in like...forever
2) I had been getting dizzy randomly lately and I was kinda worried.
Since I now have medical insurance, I can go to the doctors without any real worry. When I went in, I was the only one there (I was the last on his list for the day).
He asked me the series of questions...
- Have you been sick?
- Have you had any major surgeries?
- Do you have a history of diabetes?
- Do you have any mental issues you are aware of?
- How many alcoholic beverages do you consume on average?
- Do you do any illegal drugs?
- Have you been injured lately?
- Are you on any medications?
... list goes on
After these series of questions, he did a brief examination (the ones you get when you go in..looks at eyes, ears, etc.), He asked why now I wanted to be seen. I told him how I had been getting dizzy at really random times out of the blue.
He did some coordination tests and asked again if I had been injured or hit in the head. I told him again no, but then he asked more detailed questions..
1) Do you break out in a sweat when it happens? .
- yes
2) What do you feel when or after it happens?
- sometimes my arm or legs feel funny. I sweat and try to shake it off. I always feel my heart beating when it happens.
He told me he's concerned about my heart and immediately performed a EKG (which i dunno what the results were). He also requested a blood draw (which I did this morning). He told me to call him in a couple days after the blood draw so I can consult with him the results.
Yah.. I am a little worried. Annette says i'm fine. I however have to make sure everything is ok. *crosses fingers*
