I had my stress test today and am now radioactive for the next 10 days. LOL!
I watched my blood pressure numbers as I was walking. The systolic got up above 260 while the diastolic kept dropping. It got into the 60s at one point. I don't know if that means anything, but they did say that they "saw something" but that sometimes females give a false positive so they'll have to compare it to the pictures of my heart that they also took. I should know something by Friday.
After the test we went out to eat since I wasn't allowed to eat before the test. I ended up spending my $20 Christmas money that my parents gave me. I was hoping to put that in my $20 challenge money. Oh well.
When we got home I took a long nap because my legs feel like lead and then called to make sure that the 2 tests I'm scheduled for this week and next wouldn't be affected by the radioactivity. They assured me they're not. So....next step- nerve conduction test to see if my elbow pain is from a damaged ulnar nerve.
I've done quite a bit of searching of my symptoms on my own and wrongdiagnosis.com keeps saying Lupus, but who knows?
