Just got back from the doctor a bit ago. I have what is called Supraventricular Irritability. What is happenining is that my natural pacemaker is not in its right spot like a normal persons is. Its in a higher spot in my heart. Causing the funny feelings I am getting now. A cardiologist recommended I be put on a beta blocker so I am on Lopressor now. Which when I first picked it up and read the pamphlet that came with it it scared me. Cause it said do not take if you have mental/mood disorders. So I waited to discuss it with my doctor today. He said I need to be on this. The most its going to is maybe cause some depression if it does.And that can be handled. There are only two medications he would want me on for my heart this one and another one I cant remember. The rest become more poisonous to the body as far as side effects and stuff. And with other problems I have he doesnt want me on them.
He is also ordering up an Echocardiogram that I am having done tomorrow at 11:00 am and a heart blood workup too that I have to fast for 12 hrs for. So far I dont have to be on any diet . There is no diet for this pacemaker disfunction stuff. But if something else comes back it could be a different story. I dont eat bad stuff. I eat lots of veggies, chicken, wheat pasta, fruit good things like that but then I also eat my Healthy Choice Rocky Road Ice cream too lol and chocolate lol. Guess we'll see what I will have to give up . Please keep me in your thoughts if you will. Thanks so much.
Hugz~
