Papa's Heart

Well after getting on a Beta blocker and meds for my Thyroid, I figured I was going to get past this rapid heart rate thing. I had a few episodes of elevated heart rate but it was barely noticeable. Rate around 120 or less. Well, about a week and a half ago I was woke up around midnight with my heart racing again. Yep, woke me up! I had bought a watch that allows me to check my heart rate by pressing a button. Mt rate was around 152. It was a fitful night and I kept checking my rate which at one point it was as high as 167. I really wore me out. I just wanted to stay in bed. Luckily I had taken the day off so I didn't have to go to work. Well, Grammy and I talked and agreed I should make an appointment with my Doctor again and see what to do.

I stayed busy and would get to it when I had time. Well last night, I was awakened again with my heart racing. I didn't wake up Grammy, I just lived with it and when 4am came around I got up and went to work. It was hard, I was exhausted but I had a lot to do at work and I knew it should quit fairly soon. I picked up my coworker and we headed to work. Well it slowed down just as we pulled in to work. I called my doctor and got in to see him around 3:45 today. He told me to double up my Beta blocker and go see a Cardiologist. He recommended one and now I have an appointment for Thursday. So, at least I will see a specialist and hopefully get this fixed. I'll let you know.
