i went to another doctor this morning at 8:30 and didn't get back until 2:30.
they checked my pulse and it was 159. but my blood pressure was good. the doctor gave me a pill to slow down my heart rate. they took blood because now this doctor thinks it's my thyroid.
and then i fainted. fortunately i never lost consciousness but it was very scarey i really thought it was the end. i don't know if it's because i've never fainted before but it felt like my spirit was leaving my body. it was a very surreal experience. of course they had just took blood and i hadn't had anything to eat all morning. plus the pill made my pulse rate go from 140 down to 88. it dropped fast.
and there's good news and bad news:
this doctor said there wasn't fluid anywhere in/around my heart
butone of my heart valves was bigger than the other. that's probably worse than having fluid around your heart.
i really don't know who to believe. this is very upsetting. my thyroid test is supposed to be back tomorrow. i think the doc was so quick to diagnose it because of my fast heart rate and he said he seen a goiter (ick) in my lung xray.
man, i am messed up.
