Heart episode and hospital- december 18th 2013

This first bit in italics is what I wrote last night and lets just say I was VERY hyper when I wrote it!! If you want then you can skip the italics and get to the hospital part I don't mind

Hello!

So exited at the moment, because I've never seen Jessie live before but I just got an email from JessieJofficial.com and it said new outdoor concert dates- one of them is in delamere forest which is a 10 minute drive from where I live!! (If anyone else got that email, it says 'near Northwich' next to it which isn't where I live but is a 5 minute drive away and where my school is!! I really hope that my mum gets me tickets because it would mean the world to me if she did and I wanna see her live so bad!

Thing is... The same thing kinda happened last year :/ remember when Jessie did Chester rocks? That's 20 minutes from where I live and I thought that I was going to get tickets for my birthday but I didn't :(

My mum said that I was 'too young' as it was a standing concert, but by the time the delamere concert is on I'll be 14 so I really hope she'll not mind... Really hoping that she doesn't use my heart as an excuse either.. :(

Damn... My school borraton park trip might be then............ My god this if it is then it'll be the hardest choice I'll ever have to make! To be honest I'd prefer to see Jessie, but my mums already paid about £100 for the trip and £40 of that is not refundable if I pull out.. But if it turns out that I can't go to boreatton park because of my heart then I guess I could go.. To be convenient though my heart needs to have an episode preferably in the next few days so that I can get a diagnosis etc.. Hmm.. It was actually coincidence that my heart went off today after I had previously said that, but I did slightly think of trying to make it have an episode during pe today but I never even got as far as my school so it had nothing to do with it :P

Yes I have good luck for once!! The school trip and the concert are on different dates so I'm fine! All I gotta do now is persuade my mum.......

Today's hospital part-

So today didn't turn out as expected! I was at the bus stop to get the bus to school when I felt my heart go into one of its episodes, so I called my mum who made me come home. When I got home mum had to call an ambulance so that we could get the ECG and about 2 minutes later the first response car was at my house- turns out I was quite a high priority because of my cardio history! 😳 when the paramedic from the first response car came, he gave me an ECG although typical my luck the one time I can have an ECG, it was the least bad I've ever had in terms of symptoms (I only had slight fatigue and dizziness), length and how fast it was going! But still reasonably fast as when he recorded it it was 120bp) then he said that I'd have to go to hospital and get more tests ect but my mum wasn't sure if we should seeming as it had now stopped and I had had barely any symptoms so she went upstairs to ask my dad what he thought we should do, and while she was upstairs I heard sirens not too far from my house and the paramedic said that it was probably for me!! That was a weird feeling hearing the sirens and knowing they might be for you! Turns out it was for me, it was the ambulance and when they came in they did a more detailed ECG but my heart felt normal then so I didn't think it would show up much, but it did show up a blip where my heart all of a sudden changed speeds to go faster without warning so they were quite concerned about what that might show because it can mean a few things... Including wolff parkinson white _____ syndrome (theres a word were I've put the line it's a form of regular WPW) or it might be this other thing too. But when they said a form of WPW I was like.. Wow!!! That's what Jessie (J's) got!

I ended up going to the hospital in the ambulance, and when I got there they gave me a blood sugar test (which hurt more than I thought) and made me have another ECG while I was in the A+E department. A doctor came and talked to me and my mum and said that he couldn't diagnose me today as they hadn't got enough evidence in the ECG's ..... So that means that next time my heart does it's thing I still have to call an ambulance :/

So basically.. Today achieved nothing XD I guess you could say that I got to know that on average when my heart freaks out it's over at least 140bp which I think is quite bad though 😁!!

Ughh got to wait until next time my heart freaks out now -__- oh and I got back at 11 this morning but because it always makes me tired and it's the last day of school anyway, so I didn't have to go to school!

Ugh I wish I could have a diagnosis so that we could know what we're dealing with :/

Also I don't think I'll update before Christmas so I hope you all have a good Christmas!! <3
