I have to go for a cardiac stress test in about an hour. It's likely nothing will come of it, but I keep remembering the fact that literally no one but me thought anything was wrong with my heart before I got my original diagnosis 12 years ago. They sent me to a cardiologist to appease me; he said, 'well, I don't think anything is wrong, but we'll check,' and then -- surprise!cardiomyopathy. Then they were all, 'hmm, that's unexpected; aren't you glad we found out so now we can treat it?' And I was all, "YOU THINK???"
Ahem. Guess I'm still holding a grudge over that one.
Anyway, as I said, it's likely everything is fine. I'm on several cardiac meds, and I have the defib/pacemaker that should keep my heart from randomly just stopping. All of my other diagnostic tests have been normal or near-normal this year.
It's just -- ugh.
On the bright side, it'll be done and over soon and hopefully that will be that.
Edit: Stress test was rescheduled until after the first of the year.
