Heart Monitor

[click_it07]

Monday, i had a stress test to see how my cardiovascular system responds to exercise stress. about 3 hours later i felt a muscular twitch in my lower left ribcage. a day goes by and it keeps twitching, or so i thought. that night brianne and i were watching White Noise and i asked her to listen to my heart beat to see if it sounded normal, and she told me that it sounded like my heart was hesitiating on occasional beats. so when i got home i told my parents. they listened to my heart for about 2 minutes, which seemed like FOREVER, and then it happened again. my mom turns to my dad and hands him a phone and says "call them NOW" so for the next thirty minutes the phone cardiologist tried to convince us that there was nothing to worry about and that 60% of hearts do it and its completely natural, i just noticed it more because i have no fat and an extra large clicky heart valve. a day goes by and it still happened, so on thursday at 11 i went to the cardiologist and they gave me a personal arrhythmia logger (heart monitor) which was taking my ECG electrocardiogram which measures the electrical currents of my heart. so now, for the next thirty days, everytime i feel an irregular heartbeat i have to push a button on my heart monitor and it records what my heart is doing for an alotted ammount of time before and after i push the button. once the thing is full i have to call a number and send the information via telephone to this cardiological monitoring place... it takes 9 minutes of beeps and pulses... its really annoying!

BUT dont worry, this is a normal heart thing and im gonna be fine, but if you could please keep me in your prayers and thoughts through this thirty day test period!!

i love you all and your love in support is very appriciated!

thank y'all soooo much
