Dr. Lane's nurse called me today. She received the EKG printouts from the telemetry people and she saw some "pauses" that are questionable. So what I have to do is put the telemetry monitor back on for 30 more days, go off all my heart medication (the Metoprolol and Amiodarone), and go for a sleep study. I have no idea why we need a sleep study done. I called Cardionet, and I still have to send the equipment back bc it's been deactivated. Then Dr. Lane has to reorder it, and they will resend it back out. I'm so aggravated…and scared. I am so exhausted over all this…I'm hoping that the meds are the culprit for the pauses, and then maybe I can just quit taking those permanently, but I'm not holding my breath for it…
I really hope that it's not anything too serious. I don't know how much more I can take. So here I am, waiting for the doctor to call back, find out when I have to go for the sleep study, and finding out what's going on. I have to go to Trinity Hospital overnight, and I hope it doesn't interfere with work or school. I don't need anything else to get in the way of school, bc something always does.
Ok, well, I am going to do some googling or skimming through old anatomy texts to find out why I am needing this sleep study, bc I don't like surprises or suspense, and I will update when I hear something else.
