Hey, lovelies :)
So, you may have noticed my recent hiatus. I have a very good explaination for it.
I've felt very tired and exhausted for several weeks. I haven't made it through a full week of school since Easter. My marks slipped. I would sleep from nine at night until seven in the morning, a long time for me.
On Friday I felt unwell, more tired than usual. I stayed home.
Saturday, I noticed pressure in my chest, but I wasn't as tired. Deep breaths ached a bit, but I figured it was asthma and humidity.
Sunday, I felt like shit. I couldn't catch my breath, and it would got odd throbs in my chest. I ran a low grade fever.
By the evening, I was scared. My mom brought me to the ER, where an irregular heart beat was recorded during triage. I was immediately admitted, an electrocardiograph was done, and then I was taken for bloodwork, x-rays, and another electrocardiograph.
I spent most of the night there, only released on the condition of seeing my family doctor the next day. My mom had to watch me that night, just in case.
I haven't had a formal diagnosis yet, but there are a few suspicions. Pericarditis, a thyroid condition, to name a few.
I'm allowed to rest and nothing else. My resting heart rate is 100-110 bpm, and it rises and falls along with my blood pressure. Anything stressful has to be removed from my life at this point. I can't ride or even finish my semester at school.
So, I won't be writing. At all. I have to put my health first.
Sorry to take up your time, but thank you for understanding. I'll keep you all posted, if you want.
