well, i was back in the ER yesterday. one of the symptoms i have been having over the past few months is accelerated heart rate every time i stand up. when sitting its usually at about 60-70 bpm, which is very normal. but when i stand up, it goes up to about 120. this weekend it went as high as 165. it's a weird feeling when your heart is beating as fast as it would be if you were exercising when you're just standing there.
in addition to the accelerated heart rate, i also had chest pains and shortness of breath all weekend. on monday morning, i called my doctor to try to get an appointment. the receptionist put the nurse on the phone who told me to immediately go to the ER. at the ER, they ran a bunch of tests including an x-ray, an EKG and blood tests.
the doctors couldn't find any reason for the chest pain or shortness of breath. however, the x-ray did reveal that i have a spot on my left lung. i don't know what it is, or what that means, but i don't think that's good news.
out.
