Well I finally got to see the dr friday and got the results from the monitor.

Seems my heart skipped 18 beats in a 24 hour period. Some of them were back to back skpis while I slept. (NOT GOOD NEWS)

The first thing they would normally do is put me on an increased dose of BP med or change it to a different stronger med.....well my bp was so low that she wouldnt do that. It was 96/58 that day.
Now shes concerned about that.

My pulse was another issue......it seemed my at rest ran around 77 bpm well when the skips happen it jumps to a whopping 120-130 a minute and stays there for a good while. She doesnt like that either.
So now I go for a stress test and then a sleep study. No change in the meds for now....and I am to get off all caffine (she allowed me 2 cups of coffee a day- either that or 1 coffee one something cho ....just so its not more then 2 a day)Already started with decaf tea and caffine free pepsi to get me started.....I have only had 8 M&M's all weekend as far a cho goes. (thats a major improvment already)
I am to start the Chantix today to stop smoking...She is wondering if the caffiene and or smoking are triggers.....so have to cut them out to see.
I am worried about the crabby b**** syndrome when I quite everything all at once......no clue how to handle stress if no smokes or caffine......so prayers and support are my only staple.......

I really dont know if I can do this. I know its best for my body and my health but my mind and spirit and sanity are another issue........

Already feeling the depression just thinking bout it all weekend.

Any advice would be helpful.........

Thanks for your care and concern while I waited on this report. And to all of you who sent me PM's and notes.....You have no idea how much that ment to me. Thanks from the deepest part of my heart.

Bless you all,
Kay
