Stress Test

[jerz 251]

So I got my EKG, echocardiogram and stress test done today. Doc says heart is strong but enlarged possibly due to long-term excess sodium intake. The stress test kinda bummed me out. I was pumped like "ok no big deal, it's just walking on a treadmill" and OMG! It felt like they wanted to kill me! LoL *EvilTreadmill* after 2 mins, my legs were burning and my heart rate jumped from 76 to 158 in no time :-( so he says that my heart skipped beats and now I need a nuclear stress test :-( I'm so disappointed in myself and feel like I did something wrong. I felt embarrassed and just wanted to say forget it all. Hubby is a slim man and has always been so trying to explain how I felt to him was like talking to a wall. Don't mean to complain...just wanted to share my thoughts

Most men don't understand.... Don't feel bad or embarass. At least you are doing something about it now. Some people never do anything & end up in the 1000 pounds others just die from being over weight. You heard the say your never too old to learn something new. Your never too old to lose weight.

This is alot more common than you think. The office I work for has to do this alot. You need to make sure you are safe for the anesthesia. Just think how healthy you will be after the weight loss!
