Yesterday I went to the cardiologist. I’ve been putting off that appointment since January. Partly because of different illnesses that have been going through the family, but mostly because I just didn’t want to find out if I had another health issue. The Dr. was a really nice guy–and it was funny to me that his english accent made me feel confident in his abilities. Anyway, he had me do a stress test on the treadmill to rule out Long Q-T syndrom, even though I have never had any symptoms of it. Apparantly my heart just has a slightly longer interval between the q and the t electrical signals on my EKG. So I did the treadmill thing (really wished I’d been exercising more regularly). But as it turns out, there is nothing wrong with my heart!! Horray for that! When the Dr. was explaining the reason he wanted me to do the stress test he asked if there had been any sudden, unexplained deaths in my family. ?? How did he know? Anyway, long q-t syndrome runs in families and he said that if I had it, he would want all my children tested. Such a relief not to have to worry about that.
