Cardiologist visit
Yeah, I know- I don't post very often anymore. It's easier for me to catch up with my friends and family on Facebook, so that's where I've been these days. When I post here, it's mainly to get my thoughts together. Hopefully all y'all are on Facebook because I've been baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad about reading blogs. In fact, I've not been reading blogs. Anywho-let's-get-on-with-it... The heart monitor confirmed that I have a heart arrhythmia called tachycardia. The bad news is that it's frequent. The good news is that it's brief when it happens and doesn't go on and on. He confirmed that every time I pushed the button when wearing the heart monitor, I was having an episode. That made me feel less of a button-pusher-hypochondriac. He said that he could give me meds for this, but he wants to see me completely off caffeine for six months and see how the less stressful lifestyle is affecting me. He said that he didn't want to subject me to the side effect of the meds at this point, especially with all the other meds I'm taking for my noggin. So, I go back to see him in six months or less if my symptoms get bad. So there we have it. Finally the reason for the fainting. Ta Da!

Just like that?! A reason for the fainting! YAY! If you can control this with eliminating caffeine, that would be fanTAStic! (Decaf coffee DOES taste the same as not-decaf coffee (as long as you're using the "good stuff") (same is true for any coffee, dontchathink?) don't believe the naysayers. they're wrong) I'm SO sad I didn't get to see you when I was up there. I really wanted to work it out, but there just wasn't time. wah. Hopefully next time... And. Facebook. hmm. Allofthesudden, EVERYbody's on Facebook. I've been resisting. I just may have to give in. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo    ![]() Yvonne wrote:

Damn, I knew it! Ah well, at least you know now. I have a FB friend who has tachycardia (SVT, actually, as well as narcolepsy with cataplexy - lucky him). Nice guy in Florida. Can put you in touch if you want to know anything. Next entry: Big baby at the dentist's office Previous entry: Geeks In case you're wondering....
