Hospital

I went to see the cardiologist at Bishop Auckland Hospital today, I had a couple of tests (ECG and Echo Cardiogram). The doctor said I needed the dose of the Atenolol cut to 50mg from the 100mg I have been taken. My heart rate was too low, no wonder I've been dozing off and been unable to concentrate.

I asked again if it was OK to go walking and running and he said yes although not today. My mother who was there because she had driven me asked about hiking because I wanted to go to the lakes. He then wasn't so sure and said he didn't think it was a good idea to go up mountains. I think he must of thought I was gonna be hanging off some mountain, if I'm OK to run then I'm OK to go to the lakes as far as I'm concerned.

He reckons I must of been scared when on the roller coaster and that was the problem. Everyone I see tells me something different. The things I have done and been through in recent times were a lot more scary than going on a roller coaster so don't believe his theory. Especially when I was fine until a few minutes after it.
