In going to get an echocardiogram to see what is going on. And will also have to wear a device for 24 hours that measures my heart rate.
Pretty nervous to be honest. The outcome of this will dictate how I live my life moving forward.
Hope it goes well and there's every chance it's easily dealt with. You said (I think) they thought you were a bit hyperthyroid. That's manageable and will give you racing heart. Even if it's something else there's meds and minor surgery that can fix. Lots of options if you catch stuff now! But yeah I have massive health anxiety around heart stuff so I get the stress. ๐ค๐ป๐ค๐ป๐
Thanks so much :)
They put the thing on me which is waterproof which is nice and it connects to my phone.
The nurse said everything looks fine.
Waiting to do the eco.
Hope everything turns out okay ๐ซถ
