Bradycardia.....

I had my first EKG last Friday. I had 12 electrodes taped to my chest and then plugged into a machine for 30 seconds or less. Then the lab tech pulled each one of those 12 electrodes from my chest one at a time. It was like waxing my chest hairs or something. Grit your teeth and pull out chest hair; maybe there are bald spots.... LOL

My body seems wacked again. Trouble sleeping through the night, had nightmares and panic attacks in the night. Digestion is out of sorts so some days it is the boot scoots and then the opposite affect happens. Had chest pains that were unexplainable. Just all around crappy again; then I equal out for no reason. Off to the doctors. I made it out of that visit without having my prostrate checked. Gotta love that. Doc listened to my heart and listened and listene. Of course being the doctor he says nothing and I being unsuspecting just go along with the nothingness.

After the EKG was complete I am asked, by the tech, if I am an athlete. Well that is hysterical because I have never been an athlete. I do run three times a week but I that does not constitute being an athlete. Why? your heart rate is as slow as an athletes heart rate. Then she called it Bradycardia. Well what the heck is that already?

Anything under 60 bpm constitutes Bradycardia... I am beating at 48 bpm. Of course I have to go out to the internet to learn more. Sometimes more is too much. At the very least nothing will be done at the worst a pacemaker. Now that is scary stuff. The bradycardia could be a result of an underactive thyroid.

With all the said I am okay with whatever result. I just want to feel GOOD. Sometimes I can feel good all day go to bed wake up the next day and feel like crap. No one seems to want to listen and most want to say its psychosomatic. I dont want to hear that again and I dont want something seriously wrong either... just answers; that does not seem unreasonable.

Being worried wont help so I will just put it out of my mind for now....
