So, I have an irregular heartbeat, but I've never really thought anything of it. I've had it for a couple of years, but it was occasional and nothing that didn't eventually go away. Well, as of late, and I mean that as in the past year or so, it's been a daily occurrence. I googled "heart palpitations" and all over the Internet it says that it's probably nothing serious. Just more annoying than anything. Which it is. It feels like my heart is going to pound right out of my chest, or there is a tightness like my heart is being choked. Sometimes it lasts all day. Today it's been on and off, but at one point it was so bad, I had to sit down. No one really knows of this problem I have except for Chris, my mom and dad - and now whoever reads this. My father gave me magnesium over the Thanksgiving holiday in hopes that it's just an electrolyte problem and that this will correct it. Alas, it has done nothing to help my condition. After having to make myself "sit" today, I finally said, "Okay, I'll call a doctor." But it was after hours. So, I left a message asking my family practitioner if I need to see them or just go straight to a cardiologist with this one. Hopefully, they'll call back tomorrow.
If it is something serious, I would like to take care of myself mainly for Evie. She needs her mommy.
I'll let you know what the doctor says.
