Long Time - No Blog....

I haven't felt well this past week - I'm feeling some better this week.... I've been having trouble breathing - I feel like I'm smothering to death, my heart is racing, my ear is hurting, I feel like I have a lump in my throat and it's restricting my air flow, I feel like I'm going to pass out, I feel like I can't get enough oxygen to my brain, my left side of my face was numb last Tuesday and my left leg was numb as well.... So, needless to say I felt like crap all last week! I didn't do much at all besides work and lay around (propped up - because I can't breathe laying down)...........

I made a doctor's appointment last Thursday to see my doc on Friday with the urging of my husband, mother-in-law and a couple of friends... I really didn't want to go... Saying I "hate" going to the doctor is an understatement..... Anyway, I went to my appointment and they checked my blood pressure and it was 140/104, so she proceeded to check my blood pressure two more times - both arms - and it was the same all three times... Then she wanted to do a EKG on my heart to see if everything was normal (thankfully, it was fine) so... She put me on blood pressure medicine and I go back on Thursday to have blood work taken to check my thyroid and to have a complete work-up done on me! My doctor scheduled me for a Eckocardigram on May 9, to make for sure the valves of my heart are opening and closing like they are suppose too.... So - for the next two weeks my days off are filled with Dr. appointments! Yeah... I just can't wait(sarcastic)!
