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. :-(

Date: 2009-07-06 04:15 pm (UTC)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

Date: 2009-07-06 06:50 pm (UTC)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! :-)

Date: 2009-07-06 04:53 pm (UTC)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*

Date: 2009-07-06 07:46 pm (UTC)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!

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.
