It's a rainy day here in North Georgia & supposed to be a bit cooler. No weekend plans, but that's OK.
I went for the consultation on the Holter monitor Tuesday. I was a bit bummed out, I didn't get an all clear. I think I figured out the reason for feeling light headed during workouts....not getting hydrated in the mornings beforehand....as I have been feeling much better since I started drinking water with my coffee & breakfast. But, there were some abnormalities detected in my heartbeats & of course, they want to follow up with more tests....stress test, Echocardiagram, etc. I already know my heartbeat is never perfectly regular, like other people. But, my comparison EKGS are always similar. I get an Echo routinely that has shown little to no variation for the past 17 years. My last stress test & cardio cath (done due to some chest discomfort) revealed no issues. In the end, I believe it was gastro. So....I really don't want to go thru all the bother 😒 I find it hard to believe after changing my lifestyle with better diet ( 4 1/2 years) & regular exercise (16 months) I've suddenly developed a blockage in my arteries. After sulking for a day, I decided I will follow up with a consultation (recommended) with a specialist for heart rhythm (appt. scheduled) & do the further testing. But, I plan to do it in January. I do have a follow-up appt. scheduled with my Cardiologist (I saw the NP this time) Dec. 1st. I'll discuss my plan with him.
