The results are in

[agt_spooky]

Well, my doctor beat me to the punch and called me again a few minutes ago and I decided to answer the call.

Just as I suspected, I failed the heart monitor test. :-(

Doc tells me that after doing some research into the migraine meds I'm currently taking he does not believe my rapid heartbeat is related to that.

Which could be pretty bad news, as we'd been hoping I could just be taken off these meds and put on something else and the heart thing would be fixed. Not so much. {sigh]

He's referring me to a cardiologist now. Lord knows what I'm going to have to go through once I get set up with someone.

What a way to start off the week. :-(

I'm betting the cardiologist will do the heart monitor thing again.. Keep me posted.. *hugs**

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have no doubt I'll have to go through that all over again. :-(

[dawnie1970.livejournal.com]

*hugs tight* My prayers are with you hon.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie, I appreciate that. :-) I've got my fingers crossed this doesn't turn out to be anything serious. I'll let all you guys know what happens after I get set up with the cardiologist.

Damn Hon!! I am so sorry to hear that, keep me posted and you are in my prayers. **hugs gently**

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the hugs, babe. :-) I've got my fingers crossed this doesn't turn out to be anything serious. I'll let all you guys know what happens after I get set up with the cardiologist.

You can do this. Take it one step at a time and try not to get ahead of yourself. Contact me anything to kvetch, I've been in the same spot you're in now. *Big Black Woman Hug*

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the hug, sweetie! I'm trying not to be worried about this. I mean, I feel fine! It's not like I feel like my heart's about to pound out of my chest, you know? So I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to be serious.

I'll let all you guys know what happens after I get set up with the cardiologist.

Love ya!

[asyouleft.livejournal.com]

:( *hugs* I hope everything ends up being okay!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Me, too! Thanks for the hugs. :-)

P.S. - see you Friday!

[cybelesundays.livejournal.com]

Hi Barb,

I'm sorry to hear this. But I'm glad you're being set up with a cardiologist. He might ask you to do a stress test. What migraine meds are you taking? I'm glad you're being taken care of. Sending lots of good thoughts to you!!

Hugs,

Judy

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Hey Judy!

Yeah, I have a feeling I'll have quite a few tests in my future. :-(

I'm taking Neurontin (aka Gabapentin) for my migraines.

Thank you for the hugs and good thoughts, I appreciate it! :-)

[aidanirl.livejournal.com]

oh jeez, I`m so sorry to hear that.

I hope that you`ll be set up with the best doc, who`ll take a very good care of you)))

Just remember, that positive thoughts are really important in that kind of thigs. I`m not talking about being all pinky and mushy and "sitting on a rainbow", but being realistic and telling yourself that you can do it...well, it definately won`t hurt...

Wish you the best!
*hug*

*hugs* I wish you better.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I appreciate the good wishes. :-)

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was really hoping the news would be better, but I knew deep down something was up. :-(

I'm not looking forward to more tests, but the quicker we get this figured out the better!

[tracys-dream.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear this.
I hope they get to the bottom of this fast.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I hope we can get this figured out quickly, too, because I'm sick of going to the doctor already. :-)

[celtprincess13.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Let's hope he's just exaggerating, yeah?

Continued good thoughts your way!

((((B))))

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Let's definitely hope he's exaggerating! I know I've got my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the good wishes. :-)

[je-suis.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry this happened! I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope you get good news from the cardiologist.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm really not happy about the results myself. :-( I'm so not looking forward to more tests once I get set up with the cardiologist. [sigh]

Thank you for the good thoughts, I appreciate it! :-)

[frostian.livejournal.com]

Well, shit on a stick.

Like you guessed, you'll probably run through a battery of tests. However, the cardiologist should be able to give you either a definite diagnosis, or something even better after all is done.

I don't know if you've already done an echo or not, but if you didn't get one done, the doc will probably use that first. Hopefully it'll be the only test necessary.

Best of luck and keep us posted!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Well, shit on a stick.

LOL! Yep, that pretty much sums it up. :-)

However, the cardiologist should be able to give you either a definite diagnosis, or something even better after all is done.

Man, I certainly hope so.

I don't know if you've already done an echo or not,

Actually, no, I haven't. Thanks so much for the info on that. I've got my fingers crossed that this may be the only thing I need, then.

[samazon13.livejournal.com]

Gah. That sucks *ss. And the tests won't be much fun, I'm sure. But, I suppose there is a bright side - at least you have health insurance. That's something to be grateful for under all the crap. Well that, and friends and family who love and support you. :)

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Well that, and friends and family who love and support you. :)

Like you, Sam! ♥

[wilde-moon.livejournal.com]

Oh damn. *hugs* It could still be something fairly easy to fix, though, right? I hope so.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

I hope so, too! I just keep telling myself that it'll turn out to be nothing serious. [fingers crossed]

Thanks for the hugs!

[feldspar2.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that, Spook.

Thinking about you, so take care and chin up...

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the good thoughts, sweetie. :-) I just keep telling myself that it'll turn out to be nothing serious. [fingers crossed]

[mickeym.livejournal.com]

What a way, indeed. *hugs you tight* Hopefully it's something easily taken care of, Barb. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. *hugs you some more*

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the hugs and good thoughts, Kim. :-) I just keep telling myself that it'll turn out to be nothing serious. [fingers crossed]

[gina-stormgrant.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's all the slash and hawt guys making your heart race. Perhaps you should cut down...

Hugs from up north.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well I've definitely got a problem then, 'cause I'm not cutting down anytime soon!

What a way to go - death by slash. At least I'd have a smile on my face! ;-)

Oh my God!!!

[winchesterwoman.livejournal.com]

What?!!! It can be true!!!! You can´t be so bad! just I hope you won´t die! at least until God call you to go, maybe when you are so old. but no now. I hope the cardiologist can tell you what is wrong. because I have a feeling that maybe you can´t attendant the con. But hope that you can go fast with the cardiologist to know what is wrong with you! and that heart that is not working good. :( anyway, you are good now and that counts.

Hoping you are good now :D

Re: Oh my God!!!

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, I don't plan on dying anytime soon! :-) I'm sure it'll turn out to be nothing serious and I can put this all behind me. [fingers crossed]

Nothing is going to stop me from going to that convention next month!

[dairwendan.livejournal.com]

Oh Barb! I'm so sorry!

We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers! I'm sure evereything will work out fine!

*hugs*

[juneb.livejournal.com]

Hey Barb, sorry to hear you have to go through this. I know what a pain going to the doctor is but it's best to know what you're dealing with so they can fix it. I've done the halter/monitor myself so I know what that was like for you. Keep the positive attitude, that's the best medicine. Sending HUGS from NYC.

[agt-spooky.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks, June! And yeah, as much as I hate to go, I know I need to. Got the name and number of a cardiologist from my other doctor yesterday, so I need to call for an appt.

Aren't those Holter monitors a pain in the butt?? Especially sleeping with the darn thing.
