My Easter beauties! This was from last year at Easter....such pretty little babies! I love the way the color of the plastic eggs came out too. Since Monday I have been having dizzy spells, some headaches and just feeling yuck, yuck, yucky. Today I had a dizzy spell that was a little worse than the others so I had my blood pressure checked at work. It was high but my heart rate was high too and it concerned the guy taking my bp. He told me to call my doctor and let them know the problems I was having, which I did. Dr. Hammond wanted me to come in, which I did. I told him when he came in the room I was having "Dr. Hammond withdrawals"!!!!!! The nurse had checked my b/p and it was still a little high and when he came in it was checked for the 3rd time and it was still high. He also checked my heart rate which was high. He said it was not dangerously high, but racing. So he gave me some medication called Toprol XL that I have to take for 2 weeks. It is a beta blocker that is suppose to level out my anxiousness, I am to stay on the Benicar and Cymbalta and call him back in 3 weeks to let him know if I am feeling any better. If I am not, I have to go back in to see him. I told him about the little "pains" I feel like I get near my heart and the numbness in my fingers sometimes. "AM I HAVING A HEART ATTACK"!!!!, I ask. How hypocondriac is that. He chucked and said no you are not having a heart attack and we are going to get you feeling better. He put me out of work until March 4. I am to do nothing except rest or take a walk, nothing strenuous or tiring. Of course, every thing I do I go at it like a bat out of hades. I told him I guess I would have to go home and lay around and he said that is exactly what I want you to do, nice to hear a doctor tell you that, huh? You mean I can go home and do absolutely nothing, nothing at all??????????? RIGHT!!!!!! Exactly how is that done, do they give out directions of out to "DO NOTHING" all day??????? Is there a instructional DVD or handbook available! I just LOL at myself sometimes. I have been "busy" doing something for as long as I can remember and how do I stop doing that exactly????????? Hope I am not graded on it or anything! Well, I guess I will go in here and DO NOTHING, like go to bed! Don't let the bed bugs bite.
