monday rest day

today is my rest day and the day to go see dr k. for my consult for SVT.

quite interesting flow process of differentials....
dr k was very nice and thorough. had my third EkG. results of my holter were inconclusive. I got up to 185 that he could tell but cant tell what rhythm via holter other than probably SVT or IST.
within the next hour i would have two test that would take most people weeks. i guess having a dr hubby has some perks.

Stress test on a treadmill with 12 wires and a box is crazy. so i ran for about 14 minutes on the treadmill. increasing speed and incline every 2 minutes while monitoring my rhythm and bp. my bp rose and my HR rose to 193. good news is i stayed in ST. so this is looking harder to deal with then if it was a simple accessory pathway. my resting HR is irratic. and is determined to be the cause of the palpitations. jumps from 60-90 or 70-100 make you feel a little panicky.

at this point i am scheduled to go for an echo and then to do a Tilt Table Test on friday to rule out POTS. I dont think I have POTS at all but it is part of the process to rule everything out. The echo is a pretty cool test. the graphics on the new machines are really cool. Structurally all is well.  So now i wait  til friday and can do moderate exercise with supervision or slow with symptoms. Got it!! I can do this!
