Hi ladies! Well I had an EKG today that yielded nothing, but then my doctor told me it really didn't mean anything because she really needed to do the test when I was having the pain, not two days afterward. She gave me strict orders to go to the ER if it happens again.
She give me a script for a stress test, they are going to call me tomorrow and schdule one. Then I'm going for a cholesterol test probably Thursday or Friday. Ds is sick
so it won't be tomorrow like I wanted do but what can you do? Then I'm to go back in 3 weeks to go over the results of the tests.
She also gave me a prescription for Prilosec (sp?) because she thinks I might have acid reflux and that's what the pain way. Hmmmmm. Okay, I guess it could happen. But I am VERY wary about going on a prescription for something I don't really think I have. I mean, can't I just take a Mallox or Tums? I feel kind of like I don't want to take unnecessary meds when it wasn't even proven that's what I have. KWIM? What do you think? I might look up the side effects, if there is nothing undesirable, fill the script and take it until my appt. and then take myself off it. I mean I didn't have an upper GI taken and haven't had this pain frequently, I just don't feel justified taking a prescription. My dh calls dr's. pill happy and I'm starting to agree with him.
Anyway, thanks so much for all the prayers and thoughts. I won't know anything until I get some other tests done, but at least they do have a baseline EKG to start with.
Update on my Dr. Appt.
