Well I had to wait a week but now I am back from my appointment at the doctors. It went relatively well although I have to go to the hospital and stuff still. I went in and he asked me what the problem was as per usual and I said I have been having really irregular heart beats. He first asked me when it was happening, I said mainly when I was just sitting doing nothing and he said that's good because it rules out strenious excerise being the cause of near heart attacks and stuff heh. He then asked me to tap out what my heart beat was like when I had those irregular beats. I tapped rapidly on the counter like a rabbit having sex but that was completely wrong, I said no wait it's morel like this and I did it going fast then stopping then starting fast, normal, fast, fast, stopping, you know, really iratic. He then took my blood pressure which he said was fine, my pulse was fine and he asked if I drunk a lot of alcohol: No, Do I smoke?: No, Do I do drugs?: No, Do I drink a lot of tea or coffee?: No I don't drink tea or coffee.
He then asked my to take my t-shirt off so he could use that heart hearing thing, stethascope? I don't know, anyway he said he couldn't hear anything abnormal and was quite dumbfounded until he looked at my family history. Oh poo. Apparently both my Mum and Gran had a problem with their Thyroids at about my age and they both needed operations to correct the problem. He think that I may have got a heriditary Thyroid disease from them that means it is producing too much of a hormone or something causing my heart to go freaky every now and again.
I now have an appointment at the hospital on Monday to go get an Electric Cardiograph and I need to get a full set of blood tests at the Doctors one day next week. All the results will be sent to my Doctor and he can hopefully accurately diagnose it without anymore tests. I really hope it isn't a thyoid problem though because I really don't want a scar along my throwt. Bah life's a b!t

Well they aren't sure that is the problem that's what these tests are to determine. They say it's a possibility but since my mum and gran have had it it's more of a distinct possibility. I am still hoping i'll be fine heh.
My Gran well she had to get an operation to correct it which left a huge scar across her neck but it fixed it really well she's fine now. I asked about it but she just said it was from an operation she had once.
My Mum had to go through some radiation treatment or whatever that was pretty experimental and I don't think it entirely worked because they don't do it anymore but she hasn't got a scar.
It happened to her though before I was born though and as I never saw anything wrong with her I never asked. Anyway, everyone cross all their crossable bits for me to help make sure I'm allright.

And thanks again Belldandy
Yeh, I'm just hoping that if it is the Thyroid thing that I don't need an operation or they have a new technique or whatever because it leaves a scar. I just thought someone had attempted to murder my gran, you live you learn.

Alternatively, the disease mutates into a new strain against which existing medicine is ineffective.
In a non related message, hope all goes well for you Cubist, even if it does turn out to be this thyroid thing there is a lot worse it could have been and at least you will be treated for it.

I've never minded hospitals - it's some of the people I don't like.
Thanks Lindgren, I hope it turns out well too heh.
Hope it all works out Cubist. Hospitals are a b!tch.
Well if I'm surrounded by people who can't possibly have the disease then I have noone to catch it from. Yay me! That logic is flawed in so many ways but still.

They don't, but that's only because they've had the jab!
