Just thought that a quick update was needed. Last time I blogged I was feeling horrible and didn't know what was going to happen. After several days of my heart racing and severe anxiety I went back to the doctor for help. I honestly thought I was going to die. My heart was racing, i was breathing fast, my chest hurt, and I had aches and pains everywhere. The doctor told me that it was all my anxiety, she did an EKG just to make sure and said my heart was fine. Just her saying that was enough to relax me but I still had the issue of my heart racing. Back in high school I had this problem and was put on medicine to regulate it. About a year ago, I was doing better so I gradually backed off the medicine. I hadn't had a problem until last week. After talking to the doctor we decided it was time to get back on the medication. Within 3o minutes of taking the medicine my heart had slowed down to a much more normal rate. I am feeling better for the most part. Today is my last day of the antibiotic so I hope that once that is out of my system I will back closer to normal. I don't think I will ever take this medication again, it may have cleared up the infection but it made me feel horrible! I am still dealing with the anxiety, but knowing it is only that helps me move on faster. I am trying to get out and exercise more and just live a healthier life. I believe that will help a great deal too! I appreciate all of the phone calls, messages, and prayers throughout the past couple of weeks. Anxiety is a VERY scary thing and I would not have been able to make it without my family and friends. I'm not saying it over, but we now have a plan. I believe that with God, family, and friends, things will improve a little more each day.
On a happier note. Jordan has been busy the last couple of weeks with making pumpkins and being a pilot. I hope to get a photo blog up today.
