I had it for the regular 24 hours, and I made sure to exercise, even though I had to force myself, so I could see how my heart responded to physical activity. I&#8217;ll be following up with the Internist, Dr. G., tomorrow, and then my Cardiology, Dr. D., in three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last Sunday and Monday I was extremely pale and short of breath, so after visiting the walk-in clinic, I was advised to go to the ER. I always get into a bit of a tizzy when this happens that I don&#8217;t stop and take some time to plan. I just rush off the hospital. In the future, I&#8217;ll make sure to stop and run through a mental checklist- Phone charger, headphones, and snack in purse? Warm sweater with me? (I&#8217;m always cold in the hospital) Bottle of water? I really could have used all of the above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got in quickly to get blood and vitals taken, and an ECG done. Then the waiting began&#8230; I&#8217;m fine with being in the ER for 3 or 4 hours or so, but 12!? Kid you not, I got there shortly after 2pm and left shortly after 2am. A word to the wise- do not have an emergency on Mondays! The doctor ended up not being able to find anything out of the ordinary. My labs were fine, as was my chest x-ray. I was beyond frustrated when I left. I&#8217;ll see what Mr. Internist has to say tomorrow&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got the Holter Monitor last week, as seen in the above image.
