i saw my primary dr. he took another EKG and scheduled a holter monitor and stress tests for my heart, and another xray to figure out what that thing on my lung is. he thinks it could just me a discolored spot or a calcium deposit, so we need to get a better look.
in the last 4 months i have had 4 EKGs. i really wish people would stop ordering them - if they're coming back normal, maybe we should stop wasting my money!! i bet my insurance company isn't too happy with me. i've already cost them thousands of dollars in the last few months, and unfortunately it looks like its about to get even more expensive.
the stress test is where they hook me up to an EKG and it records my heart activity while i exercise on a treadmill. a holter monitor, unfortunately, is a device i have to wear for 24 hours that records my heart activity through the electrode pads like an EKG. unfortunately the only time i could schedule the heart monitor test is for the weekend when my friends and i have rented the beach house. i'm going to look pretty silly in a bathing suit!!
