Heart News


I found out yesterday, after pushing through to another Doctor, that I have been having Ventricular Premature Beats. Don't know why.
I will have an echocardiogram next week to determine if the premature beats are being caused by something wrong with my ticker, or if they are just random. The Doctor doesn't seem to be too concerned.
Considering my Grandmother has had several "walking" heart attacks, I am a little concerned I might have had one and it has damaged my heart. We will see...

  2. Yikes, I sure hope it's nothing serious! Have you had a stress test recently? With all the running you've been doing it's certainly giving your heart a heck of a workout I would think. You'll be in my prayers.
