this and that

Do not continue reading if health problems, including weird boob issues, bother you. Or if a personal post would bother you.

So today I went to the Doctor because I have boob problems. I have Fibrocystic Breast Disease, which was already established. It is pretty much just where you have some benign lumps in your boobs. However, Ive been having a weird new symptom that is gross and weird. Ive been having different colors of discharge (clear, white, bloody, ew) coming out of my nipple on the right boob. It apparently could be cancer. I have to go get a mammagram and possibly a biopsy this week. Scary stuff.

Anyways, while I was there, we also followed up on my asthma stuff. While I was there, I mentioned that I’d been having some chest pain and a bit of trouble breathing. She checked my oxygen saturation level (should be 100% for a young person) and it was only 90%, which is quite low for a young person. We want even old people in the hospital to be at least 95%. So that was a problem, obviously. She did a chest X-Ray and it looked ok. Then she did an EKG, and another problem surfaced.

So aparently my EKG was abnormal as well. For some reason, I had a Depressed T wave, which means instead of the last peak on my heart rhythm being there and normal, it is just flat. She is worried because than can mean ischemia (kinda like heart damage to some part of it). Additionally, when she listened to my heart, the doctor says she hears a “click”, which she thinks could mean a heart valve problem.

So pretty much this week Im going to be at the hospital a lot getting tests done both on my hot knockers and my heart both. She upped my asthma medication, so hopefully that should take care of that.

Let me know if there is anything of mine you want in case I die, so I can put you in my will.
