Well, my initial feeling when I arrived was not positive. The staff did not have their act together at all. It took ten minutes to find the new patient paperwork etc. I also found it a bit odd that I had had to wait nearly two months for an appointment yet the waiting room was a ghost town. When I got into a room, and they finally located the blood pressure monitor, my BPS was high. I thought to myself that that was just great! Now, this will become a BP issue. Anyway, when the doc arrived I immediately liked her at least in the sense of feeling comfortable. She asked about symptoms etc and began her exam. It went ok I suppose. When she tested my reflexes with her hammer she kept hitting my right knee which basically did nothing. My left leg flew up. She commented on the difference but then never mentioned it again. When I did the heel to toe, I fell to my right. Otherwise nothing stood out to me as odd. So, at the end, she said that nothing really stood out to her about my exam. She wanted to test for seizures due to my episodes of sleep paralisys and scheduled an EEG. She also scheduled a neck xray and halter monitor? Lastly, she ordered a nerve conduction test. (I think that's right). She also said a sleep study may be needed. We talked about my anxiety and she said she never blames anxiety without ruling out other possibilities. She was, as I figured, concerned about my BP. So, I guess for a first appointment it went fairly well. My impression is that she is concerned about possible seizures and not much else for now. Any thoughts?
