So, I had my EKG yesterday and it came back "not normal." My Dr. said that it looked like it was not a big deal but the cardiology dept said I need to get an ultrasound of my heart. So I hope I can get the appt. really soon and get the testing over with. I just want to start this program and be on the way with loss. I was a little worried but I have never had any health issues with my heart and no high blood pressure etc. However when I did get the EKG my 5y.o. was with me and when they started putting all the little stickies on me and hooking the cords up she started freaking out and crying and she was in the seat across the room from me so I couldn't hold her and also not speak. I think that any mother in the same situation would not have a "steady" heartbeat when their child is having a hard time like she was. I really don't think I have any issues but just to be sure my Dr. needs to have an OK by a cardiologist before we go ahead and start me on Phentermine. She went over dangers, risks, info that she has within her reach and basically there was not any direct heart concerns from taking Phentermine alone but because of its history with fen-phen Dr.s just need to make sure the recipient is "healthy."
Here we go to wait again.....
