My Heart

As you see the heart image on top, you might think that I'll be blogging about relationships. Well, I am not.

Last week, April 20 to be exact, I was admitted to the hospital because of PVC. At first, I was clueless because the name sounds more of a pipe for me. But in medicine it means Premature Ventricular Contraction.

I went to my Pulmonary Specialist because of chest pain. Because I am a constant sufferer of asthma, I thought its just a usual asthma attack. The doctor wants me to be admitted to the hospital because of Bronchial Asthma but then again, he asked me to undergo an ECG to see the status of my heart.

Then,

I found myself crying with my baby boy. I brought him along because we are going to go to his doctor afterwards, he's suffering from constant sneezing and I thought he might have some allergies too.

I dont want to be admitted to the Intensive Cure Unit (the doctor suggested this) because the thought of it makes me think I am going to die. I was assisted for 2D Echo. For about an hour, I endured the discomfort of lying on that bed as they look for problems in my heart. I just assured myself of this "Think Happy Thoughts, God Is In Charge". I stayed in the hospital for 4 days. The doctor allowed me to stay outside the ICU after the 2D echo showed that it will be alright. Although at my room, I got a Cardiac Monitor. It was a painful experience, I got pinned 7 times for blood testing, allergy tests, and so forth.

If there is something I learned from this experience, that would be to take care of my body and to always trust God. And of course, to "think happy thoughts."
