Mytralvalve Prolapse....

So now this is what I have...UGH....I'm so confused!!!!

Went to the new cardiologist yesterday. Dr. G was wonderul. Funny and sweet and very nice to me. He told me that the jerkoff who I was seeing first was the #1 Cardiologist in NY. I told him, I don't give a shit his staff sucks. I'm here because someone recommends him and I trust that someone.

He says he hears a 'click' not a 'rub'. The 'click' is the extra beat in my heart..The cause for the palpitations, I guess...I am going for an echocardiogram in a few weeks. I hope they find nothing. But then again, I hope they can tell me why I still have chest pains, shortness of breath, heavyness in my chest and palpitations. I am truly a mess. And if indeed it is Mytralvalve Prolapse, if I have a murmor, the only way it effects me is I'll hafta take antiboitics when I get dental work. He made it sound so simple, but I truly believe there is a scarier reason for the antibiotics during dental work! I'm not happy about that!

He also said, he doesn't hear the 'friction rub' that is Pericarditis...It could have gone away or never existed at all. And he can't believe that the other jerkoff didn't perform an echo himself...So much for being the #1 cardiologist in NY. Apparently 97% of the people with Percarditis have it go away on their own. 2% take Advil and 1% need steroids...Great. Leave it to me to be difficult without even knowing it.

I dunno. I'm gonna hafta stop drinking so much coffee...I don't know if I can do that! It's torturous to try to stop IV'ing caffeine....Whattm I gonna do? I'm already panicking!
