today...

Post by godman » Tue Feb 17, 2009 6:42 pm

Today i went to the doctor to get my blood pressure checked, i explained to her how long its been going on and how high its been and all that good stuff.. so she does an ekg on me and determines that my heart is not functioning properly, that it is working too hard. so she sent me to get a chest x-ray, blood samples, and an echocardiogram. an echo is basically an ultrasound of my heart. the xrays were to determine if my heart is too large. and the blood tests were to determine if i have any diseases or anything that could explain these symptoms.

I have the same problems, same age. I got many of the same tests and all they ended up telling me is they dont know why i have high blood pressure. they told me i just got a crappy genetic cards dealt.

I am on blood pressure medicine to keep it under control.

only thing they have told me are that my lungs are under extra stress for some unknown reason.

Wow I never knew so many people on sge had health problems, always figured mental problems.

Lol so we got people here on death beds typing in game messages like "I'm gonna pwn you", and "I'm gonna hugging wipe you"........That's some determination :P :P

Well feel better dude and don't let the doctor put you on medication you don't need, they like doing that sometimes.

well I finished in hospital for 2 days because of a powerful headache. They did both types of ct scans. they tought I had something but then they figured it was just a shadow produced by the rays.

to get it more funny, I had a sleep paralysis for the first one just before I went to hospital and I was scared like ****.

I was scared like eww, then after 2 days they said I had nothing and I could go to home.

Best therapy is to lay off the computer games, go outside and do something productive.

Little fresh air does wonders for the body and soul.
