But before I get to my point I do have one very simple question for all of you. I know, I know, I'm always asking you questions. All I'm doing though is trying to make you think and think for your own answers not someone else's answer. Wow, sorry about that I'm way off topic now. Anyway the question is; Have you ever had a day, week, or even a month where it seemed like you were on autopilot and the time period is just a big blur?
Well for me, I can honestly answer yes and it was the last 6 ½ years. Yep you read that right 6 ½ years. I don't want to bore you with the long drawn out story, so I'm just going to cut to the chase, sort of speak anyway.
You see I went onto a Beta blocker (Toperal XL) about 7 ½ years ago now, because I passed out in a pool after taking some allergy medication (Zyrtec). After three days in the hospital and several tests later the doctors decided that I needed to take the Beta blocker for not only my low blood pressure, something I lived with all my life with no problem, but also for Pro-longed QT syndrome.
Well, the short of the long is that I recently went into the doctors for retesting. I did this because I just couldn't seem to wake up in the morning, I knew it was the medicine because I was fine on the days when I forgot to take it the night before. The all knowing heart doctor, well the nurses too, just told me that there is no definite test to find Pro-longed QT syndrome. They're putting me on a medicine, that made me walk around in a fog, under the assumption that I have the syndrome.
Good news! Until I hear that there is solid proof for me to take the fog making medicine, I'm not taking it anymore and haven't taken it for a little over a month now.
Stretch, Hello world Heather's awake, thinking clearly and creatively.
