So, anyway….
I went to an associate of my regular doctor today to see if I could get an answer as to why I'm 'almost' fainting up to six times a day these days. She said that it sounds like I need to get a full work up from a cardiologist, so has referred me to a cardiac clinic. While in her office, she did an EKG (which was fine) and ran some blood tests. She's checking for anemia and potassium levels.

A cardiologist, huh? Wow... wouldn't that just beat all. If this ends up being a cardiac problem, I think I will have the full house of specialists at my beck and call. I have a neurologist and a gastroenterologist, so why not throw a cardiologist in the mix? I think the kids better start looking for a good nursing home for me soon. Apparently I've become old.

I'll give the cardiologist a call in the a.m. and try to get something set up soon. I'm sure glad I have COBRA insurance. Good grief.

Hmmm I was reading some stuff today about my issues (new post on my blog), the various symptoms and how they manifest, and was thinking, "Hmmm that sounds a lot like Lori". A lot of similarities in certain aspects. I'll write more to you on my blog.

Good Grief is right, Lori! With all that is happening in your world, I'd be having heart troubles myself. Poor girl.

I'm glad you're getting after this. Hadn't thought about the potassium thing. I had a problem a couple years back with irregular heartbeat and was using sudafed at the time. Apparently me and sudafed don't mix...
