Today I had an appointment with an arrhythmia specialist. My heart has some severe scarring and the beat is irregular. SO I have to have an EP cath to see if I am vulnerable to sudden death (his words) and if so, have a defibrillator implanted. (Why do they like to scare you silly?)
Right now my emotions are vacillating from annoyed to cavalier to depressed. This scarring could have resulted from blunt force trauma such as car accident, hard fall. It could also have been a silent heart attack. I had an echo two years back and nothing was noticed so maybe the stress test picked this up. I could have had a silent heart attack this Christmas season when I had all that stress and allergies. I was on 4 different antihistamines per day. My blood pressure was up and I was tired. I wouldn't have even noticed.
Despite my weight, I've kept check on my BP and kept the cholesterol low. Right now I'm feeling frustrated.
I'll let y'all know when the procedure is scheduled.
