Hi guys! I'm alive and upright! That headache was miserable as was the double vision I called it a super early night last night. I can see straight again which feels amazing. I could also wear my heels again since I don't feel dizzy.

To recap yesterday work was terrible it felt like I had four computer screens instead of my standard two. I saw my Cardiologist again; he went over my results of the Holter Monitor the only time is was below 100 was when I slept and even then it was 99 most of the time I slept; granted both nights there were times when my heart rate shot up to 130 in the middle of the night. Cardiologist said most peoples sleeping heart rate is not in the 90's but rather around 50-60. He does not think I have Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. My blood pressure is also quite high considering I'm on a Beta Blocker. So he increased my dose from a half a pill to a full pill. I took the full pill last night when R woke me up to take my medication and woke up with a very minor headache, my full vision, and could stand on my own two feet and balance in heels. I hope this full pull works. My heart rate is still well into the 100's but as long as I don't have a headache I'll take it.

M is very worried about me; and the headaches going so far to supplying me every hour with coffee plus my favorite creamer; it seems to be helping the headache. I have traded in the Excedrin for super strength Tylenol which is working a lot better.

R really likes my new car; we carpooled to work she likes my car, granted it's not as nice as her's but then again I don't have a PA salary. I still have college to pay for.

The office Christmas Party is tomorrow and I just finished making a turtle poke cake, most everything else is in the oven or setting up on the counter top.

I was able to take a shower this morning; I just didn't feel like doing much of anything last night. I also took a shower about an hour ago. I felt extra disgusting yesterday.

I also was diagnosed with an ear infection today by M; so that could have been contributing to some of my fatigue the past couple days; and might have been another source with the headache. So who really knows at this point if was my heart or a infection all that I know is that I am grateful to be feeling better. It could be the new beta dose or some super strong antibiotics in the form of horse pills.

I did have a fever when I visited my primary; he and I just never thought much of it since I usually do run a fever when I see him, but it's probably because they set the office thermostat to hell for the winter; but yeah I have an ear infection. So drops and antibiotics oh what fun. I'm just glad it's not the flu.

Hugs to everyone

Also thank you Wild, Christina and Bizi for your well wishes.

Also Also Wild I'm very glad your sleep test went well. I finally got around to reading some posts and saw that you had posted an update about it.
