The Cardiologist Isn't That Bad.

6/27/2013

Hey yall. Well, today's doctors visit went much better than yesterday's visit. This time I went to go see a cardiolgist for the first time ever. My primary care doctor made the appointment for me because I have been fainting at least twice a day for the past month. The office was nice and cozy. The receptionist was very friendly and was quick about returning my insurance cards and I was quick with filling out 3 front and back pages of paperwork. My only complaint about this doctor was the hour and a half wait. I was taken back into the room. My blood pressure was taken sitting, lying down, then standing and it remained a consistant 100/68. I then had a quick EKG. The doctor then came in and listened to my heart. She said the EKG was normal and that my blood pressure seemed fine. She believes I have an autonomic imbalance bewteen my parasympathetic nervous system and my sympathethic nervous system. I will be tested for this when I go back next Wednesday. So, I would say today was a success.

Below are some links to expand your knowlege on my possible diagnosis.

Below are pictures I took of the office.
 

Oh, it feels as though I broke my right wrist. I do not have time to deal with that right now, so I will ignore it until I go back to the orthopedic doctor next week,

Thanks for reading!
