Maggie,
it sounds as if John is offering sound advice..."composure" is the key!
On a more serious note I do hope you get better soon and that the med works FAST!
My ticker has always had a fast pulse. I dont have a high blood pressure...a very low one as a matter of fact. I do know my great grandpa had a pacemaker and they told my mom she will need one when she gets older. I forgot the term they told her. Have they done and EKG and all those tests? I had those done when I had the pleurisy as well. Can make the strongest of us feel very nervous.
My heart rate would shoot up to 140-145 while I was preggers with Gianna ten years ago and it has never stopped. They could not figure out why it happens. Neuroligst suspected vasculitis but can't pinpoint it. I remember one day my boss freaked because my pulse was flying off the walls....yet I was sitting peacefully at the puter'. He FORCED me to go to the ER. But all was well and since then I just get dizzy sometimes and out of breathe on occasion. If your doc brushes you off though...you know YOUR body more than anyone else and get that second opinion pronto! Better for you to have peace then more worries!
Hugs to you my friend]]]]
