Later this afternoon I will go to the cardiologist for a stress test on the treadmill. Several months ago I would have looked forward to max-ing out their equipment, today, not so. I hope there are some revealing results, because otherwise it seems counter-productive to further agitate the condition.
The prescriptions from 10 days ago have had no noticeable positive effect. It's still uncomfortable to lie on my back and I don't sleep well. Fatigue, congestion and chest discomfort continues. My wounds from the December bike crash have stopped healing, probably as a result of the medications which were intended to lower the body's immune systems.
The resting heart rate hovers in the low to mid 50's instead of low 40's or high 30's, partly because there has been no physical activity at all for weeks now.
I am praying for a return to my usual radiant health or at the very least an accurate diagnosis and understanding of what is happening.
