I went for my regular checkup. I was so tense I was almost starting to halucinate. My blood pressure was sky high and the nurse that took it made sure that I knew it was and then when the doctor came in she also made a statement three times to let me know.,
I was freaking out . I felt as though I was going to pass out. She asked me the reason for my visit and I told her for refil of meds. She also asked me if there was any concerns and I told her yes. I had in my mind my heart was bad.
She checked me over and over and said I don't hear anything wrong and your heart is fine, but just for your benefit Im going to give you an ekg. I freaked out It took her 20 minutes to calm me enough to get me to take it.
I had to lay still and be quite and when I laid down I felt as though I was going to pass out. They did the ekg and all was perfect she said.
A couple of years ago I had a mumur but it was stress from Katrina and it went away a year ago. She said if I had still had it she was going to do an echo but she didn't hear anything wrong.
I told her about my missed heartbeats and she said that unless there were 20 in a row there was no worries. Then I asked her about the sound that my heart makes, being as I CAN HEAR it. and she said something about venturicle something but said it was benign. Also I thought that I had Pulsative Tinnitus and she said NO you don't you have something called
torturous or something like that. Its when you get older and your veins start splitting up like veracose veins and they wind up around your ear drums and makes it easy for you to hear your heart.
Also I ask her about why my pulse was beating faster in the morning and she aid it was because I smoked. She wants me to quit smoking and she changed my beta blocker three times higher dose to compensate for high blood pressure in case it was high all the time.
She looked for damage from high blood pressure and said she couldn't find any but it didn't mean I didn't have high blood pressure.
Now that my BP reading was so high im scared it might still be high. If it was dangerously high she would have probably have given me something in the office as far as medication ???? RIght?
She wanted to do some blood work and the tech was gone for the day so I have to go back first thing in the morning. GREAT now I have to go again and freak out. Overall I was there in the offiice for over two hours and its about five hours later now and im still sick to my stomach and feeling bad.
Im somewhat relieved but then I am worried about the BP . But im exhausted. I can't believe I have to go back in the morning. I hope I can make it without freaking.
Since there were no blood test today im still not sure that everything is ok.
I just feel scared and worried.
