I just saw my doc today b/c i have had overwhelming fatigue and shortness of breath this week. She thinks i either have congestive heart failure,or a blood clot has formed after my recent surgery, or both.
While i was there the office ast. did an EKG and i wasn't paying a lot of attention to how she did it. the first EKG came back that i had a heart block wijth prevous heart attack. Well i just had surgery less than a month ago, and the EKG was fine then . So i had them do it over, and a different tech did it, and the doc checked to see if the placements were right,and this time it was ok. Wow, nearly gave me a heart attack just thinking about it. I thought my life was over.
Funny what u think about when u think u might die. My first thought was "well jehovah, is this how it ends?"Next i thought, odd my mom died less than 6 months ago, and now me.
I am not out of the woods. they are going to to an echo with doppler to legs monday. Then probably a CAT to lungs. She feels sure i do have congestive heart failure. We will have to treat it. Hopefully i do not have a clot. She told me between now and monday, if i have severe shortness of breath and chest pain, to go to the ER.Clots are scary, alot of people have died as resut of them. usually u just drop over. No warning.
and i thought i was unbreakable.
pondering my mortality.
