Don't feel quite right...maybe it's Stress
I have been though a lot lately.....maybe more than the average person on a day to day basis but I thought I was doing ok. I got a new job in March.....the first week I was there...the first day in fact, I got shingles on my face. Had to be off a few days. Then one of my twins was sick with the flu, we thought, but actually ended up with a ruptured appendix and in hospital for a week. Off from work a little more but I did go EVERY day and just left early to go to the hospital which was an hour from work. Ok there's some stress.....Then about 2 weeks go by and my heart is just not feeling right. It was always in the morning. I would get my shower, dressed, blow dry hair and get to my car and then on my way to work it would not be beating right.....or I would have this strange pressure in the center of my chest with jaw pain. This really started happened every day. So my husband decided I really should see the cardiologist. We met with her and she ordered some tests. They thought my BP was way to high...which is strange for me, I usually run about 120/70...that day it was 196/98 ....crazy. So we bought a BP machine for the house and we could never get a high reading on me. I even had one of the nurses at work (I work in a doctor's office) and she got 130/80...so I think it was a fluke...but who knows.....anyway.....we will see what the tests reveal.
