A second headache yesterday morning kept me from venturing to spin class. I wonder if it is stress, although I feel none per se. It could be that my atrial fibrillation is responsible for wreaking havoc on the rest of my anatomy. As if the aftershock of Sunday is working its way through the rest of my physiology. I am only guessing and so I moved up my cardiologist appointment to Monday next. I fear however since my affliction does not carry with it the usual high blood pressure, narrowed arteries, diabetes or even left ventricular hypertrophy (as I once guessed I had) he might have quite the conundrum in diagnosing his next move.
I do know that I have ratcheted down my exercise regimen just in case I have taken that one step beyond my capabilities in the present shape I am in. Pure conjecture to be sure but backing off just a bit might just be the ticket. I have always had difficulty paying attention to what my body tells me and hence my heart has taken up the dialogue that I am listening to with greater discernment. My sister a lifetime asthmatic died of heart failure after she had fallen unconscious for the fifth time at the age of 50. I don’t think it’s my time to leave this earth but who really knows when God calls us home.
A bit morbid I'd say. Just shape up your act get your medications titrated properly and slow down. Stress is always a factor with health issues. Pay attention. Remember watch what people do not what they say. You of all people know you can paint any picture you choose by selecting words carefully
