Last night was awful. I couldn't sleep... felt like crap and wasn't able to sleep from 1:00 on. I woke up gasping for air, and my heart was racing over 100. It really sucked, I tried to relax and sleep. I was relaxed actually but my heart was just going crazy~ So I tried to go to Dr. Biggs but after they took my BP and it was 176 over 99 they sent me to the ER! I spent 3 hours in the ER and got LOTS of heart tests done that are going to cost me an arm and a leg. Every test looked good but my TSH was high on the blood test. THe ER doc said he thinks I have the early stages of hypothyroidism. He put me on a beta bloker to lower my heart rate and BP. I will see a cardiologist soon.
