Palpitation Update
I went to the doctor Monday morning, and she didn't really have a whole lot of answers. She compared the blood tests she had ordered to the blood tests they did at the hospital, and saw that two different tests that indicated a blood clot were slightly elevated. So, she took me off of birth control (eek) and is sending me to a cardiologist. She took a chest x-ray to check for pleurisy and a collapsed lung. She was slightly concerned about a pulmonary embolism, but evidently not enough to test for it further, right now. She is waiting for more blood tests after I've been off my medicine for a couple weeks. So, there's that!!

Ummm, who in the world did you see?? Someone on base? SERIOUSLY, pulminary embolisms are a huge deal, you should maybe demand someone check on that right now!!! Have I mentioned lately how much I hate doctors, ugh.
Keep me updated!! Love ya!
Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. Last time I was checked for a PE, I was given the impression it was a big deal. Oh well. I'm trying to leave it in God's hands, and hope I don't drop dead. ha ha ha Love YOU!
