Cardiologist

Had my appt. with the cardiologist today!
had an EKG done.

heart rate is high. he said my heart sounds strong & good.

tomorrow i have a stress test & echocardiogram.

then blood work for thyroid & cholesterol, etc.- the stuff the OB doesn't usually test for. (they are checking before i get the labs done)

he told me to eat less carbs & to try to eliminate sugar from my diet. & to eat every two hours instead of big meals 3 times a day- to split up the carbs from making my heart rate high. OH & i have to take my blood pressure 2 times a day- at random times 3 days a week- so i can show him at my next appt on March 1st!

wish me luck at my stress test tomorrow! :S
