Plant your hope with good seeds

Guess who had to go to the ER today! Yeah, it was me. :\ I mentioned in my previous post that I was having some chest pain that I chalked up to overexerting myself. Welp, last night I started having heart palpitations and that, combined with the chest pain, really freaked me out. I was so scared I was going to have a heart attack over night, guys, y'all don't even understand, lmao. I woke up this morning feeling a ton better! I mowed the yard (using a push mower, even!) and my chest felt fine! Mom and I went to town to pick up some things and then the palpitations came back and I was like WELP. Going to the ER now.

I was diagnosed with ventricular bigeminy, which is basically an irregular heartbeat. The doctor said that it's not really anything to worry about until, like, 50 years from now, haha. One of my nurses told me she'd been diagnosed with the same thing 15 years ago and while she enjoys her morning coffee, drinking a couple of cokes causes the palpitations to get stronger. So I'm going to cut down on caffeine, I think.

Also the chest pain doesn't have anything to do with this. That actually was from overexerting myself. It's just the palpitations.

I'm suppose to schedule a meeting in a week or so with the actual cardiologist to get an echocardiogram to see the actual setup of my heart.

Today was my first ever IV, which sucked a lot (I've never spent any time in a hospital), my first time having blood drawn that I can remember, and my first x-ray since third grade. EXCITING.

Anyway, like the doctor said, it's not anything serious but I'm glad I know anyway. I would have stressed myself out so much worrying about it, haha.
