I'm in the hospital again :(

[CharleysAngel']

Seen the cardiologist, he did loads of tests, ultrasounds, ecg and listened to my heart a lot with a stethoscope. The good thing is he found nothing abnormal so my heart seems to be working properly. I'm back in my room now, I don't have to wear the heart or blood pressure monitor anymore, just the IV. I couldn't eat any lunch and I am feeling very tired and weak so hoping to sleep most of the afternoon. I am still not well enough to go home so I am being kept in again tonight. They want to do some tests on my tummy tomorrow as I haven't been able to eat to see if there is something going on there.

Good news about your heart Charley, I hope they find out whats the matter very soon xxx

Good news about your heart Charley 

I know you want to sort the physical things out but I do wonder whether you should mention your mood as stress/anxiety can affect your heart rhythm.

Hope you manage to rest.

Thanks Zaf and Buttercup and Pip  xx

The readings from the heart monitor were slightly irregular and they have now put that down to anxiety and stress from having to stay in the hospital. All the tests the cardiologist did were all completely normal so they are not concerned about it. They want to do some scans and ultrasounds on my tummy tomorrow as they think there might be something wrong. I have been having pains and have no appetite and haven't felt well enough to eat. That could all be down to stress but we will have to see.

Still not allowed to change out of this hospital gown, they said I have to wear it as I am being examined quite a lot and its easier if I have the gown on instead of having to keep getting changed.

Those gowns are horrid   hang in there Charley, they're trying their best to see if there are any physical symptoms making you feel so ill.  I wonder if its worth asking them about the possibility of ME?

They are horrid, at least I don't get classed as a child anymore, then I would have to wear one with zoo animals on it

The general doctor look after me will be in this evening to do a proper examination on my tummy before the tests tomorrow so I think I will mention ME then. My GP really didn't want to diagnose it, I think she was hoping I had forgotten and just tells me I feel like this because of my mood. Then I kind of felt like saying that that's not really good enough because my mood isn't improving.

[Zaf]

That would be even worse 

I think its worth mentioning if you can

[Buttercup]

I agree with Zaf Charley, it might give the doctors a few clues as to what is going on.  %^% %^%

Thanks Buttercup xx

My tummy really hurts, don't think it wants to be tested

[Sweetpea]

I also agree. Try and tell them how you have been feeling and your thoughts %^%. S x x x x

[Zaf]

Thanks Buttercup xx

My tummy really hurts, don't think it wants to be tested

It may because you're feeling really nervous but I'd suggest telling the nurse when you see her  %^%  xx

[CharleysAngel']

I got the nurse to come (I have one of those remotes so I can press a button if I need something) told her that my tummy was hurting, she lifted up my gown and felt my tummy and said it seemed ok but she would get a doctor to come and take a look so I am waiting for the doctor to come now.

[Zaf]

Thats good xx

The doctor came in and examined my tummy, he said that everything seemed normal. He gave me some painkillers through the IV and told me to try and get some sleep as I am very tired. He said that the doctor will do a very thorough examination of my tummy ready for tomorrow when she comes to do my evening check up (I'm having two check ups a day now)
