Great News for Kristen!

I just heard back from the cardiologist at 10:15 tonight. (Don't freak out, it's not a big deal). Most of you don't know, but I've had some issues with irregular heartbeats for most of my life, and recently decided to get it checked out. After wearing a Holter Monitor for 2 days, I was told that I'm normal. Well, technically I have some irregular hearbeats in the upper portion of my heart, but it's nothing to worry about. He said that he finds this in perfectly "normal" people, and that this can't cause heart attacks or strokes. He does want me to come in for the dizzy spells that I have (postural hypertension...where my blood pressure bottoms out when I go from sitting to standing). Again, I've had those most of my life as well. I'll update as I know more.
