It’s been a stressful week so let me just dump some of the random thoughts circling up and clouding up my mind.
Heart issues?
I went to urgent care on Monday due to elevated heart rate. This is the second time this has happened, the first being February last year. It’s hella freaky because I was just at my desk at work doing normal boring tasks and suddenly I just felt my heart jackhammering. And when I check my watch, I see that yep, my heart rate’s up to 160+ all while sitting down in front of the computer.
I was monitored in the urgent care for a couple hours, tests were done, the whole kit and caboodle. And like it was on a friggin’ timer, my heart rate just dropped down to normal after a couple of hours like nothing happened. Long story short, the doctor said it was supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and I got a referral to cardiology.
Still about my chest…
Next day I went back to the medical center, this time for a scheduled appointment for my repeat mammogram and ultrasound. See the thing is I had my first mammogram last month and they found something so I had to do it all over again. Yay, me! Lucky me, the radiologist was there that day as well, so I got the nice doctor doing more of the ultrasound scanning aside from the nice tech. Long story short, they could not be sure so I will need to do it again in six months to see if that thing they were worried about stays the same or, heaven forbid, changes. So, wish me luck there.
Housesitting
So this week we were housesitting for the in-laws. It’s a big break from our established routines and therefore very stressful for me. Much kudos to my husband for doing his level best to make it easier for me, so it definitely went better than the last time.
Those are just the major things I need out of my system. Of course, there were also the normal little annoyances all throughout the week, but like I said, just little ones that I could slide around or work though to keep my sanity intact [mostly, somehow]. Was my week all bad? No, but I just felt overwhelmed by it all and needed an outlet and I guess this happened to be it for the moment.
Do I now feel better after letting all that out? I don’t actually know.
