Oh, no Bobby! You feel like you may have had a mini stroke?
I'm sorry I don't remember you telling us that. When did it happen?

You should tell your new PCP because mini strokes can be warning strokes that a major stroke may happen in the future
It doesn't matter if you are walking well or not. It's something that your doctor needs to at least monitor.

Your appointment with the new PCP will probably be mostly an introduction. She will want to ask you about some of your medical history (and probably your psych history, but don't let her dwell on it- tell her you have a pdoc who handles that) and go over any recent tests you have had. She will probably repeat some blood work and/or order more if she thinks you need it. Bring your med list and check to see if you need any refills for medications before you go.

I hope that the doctor is nice, and your appointment goes well

now my balance is worse and my walking is worse in the past few weeks. It happened when i woke up that i noticed it. icalled my ot but he hasn't called back. i'll see when i meet her

today my walking was better and I told her it was fluctuating. I had a blood test.
my heart beat was rapid

Maybe the blood test will provide helpful information.

I am afraid it will say my a1c is higher because I have been cheating and my cholesterol might be higher because I have been missing some pills. I really been out of control and my memory hasn't been that good. I wonder if all the anxiety I have is increasing my heart beat.

I read that anxiety can cause increase in pulse rate and I have generalized anxiety disorder, pts from the explosion and burns and anxiety from bipolar II

bobby, I am sorry you suffer with anxiety and ptsd.

Yes, anxiety can increase your heart rate even if you have taken Klonopin, etc.

Also, sometimes the medical assistants take my vitals right after I walk down the hallway into the exam room (which is difficult for me), so my heart rate can be very high, and it has to be rechecked a little later.

I've noticed that when my anxiety is high, I'm disorganized and distracted and my memory gets worse. It may be at least contributing to your problems right now, too

I hope that your blood tests come back better than expected

I usually have constant high heart rate-a little over 100.

That is high bobby,

does your doctor know this?
