Update 12/15/14 This afternoon we left our least fav place, the hospital ER. So thankful to know we are never alone. I had a shift. My blood pressure has been extremely high since returning from our cruise last week. This is a new onset problem. It has been challenging, & I havent felt well at all the past few days. In addition, I awoke early this morning with massive chest pain, took 3 nitro, waited a while for relief, & per my Drs request I came to the ER to rule out a heart attack. Praise God for no heart attack. The diagnoses is that this is another phase of my rare autonomic dysfunction. Its affecting my blood pressure now, rather than just the heart rate.The chest pain was another heart spasm from the small vessel disease. I started an additional heart med at the hospital, but it did not budge the pressure. It can be very discouraging to have very few people who can understand this condition & how to treat it. I tend to feel all alone, like a freak. I am awaiting a followup with yet another cardiologist, and hopefully a productive treatment plan. Ultimately, I am praying that this will be a temporary challenge, not a permanent addition. I am hoping it is possibly just caused by the long beach walk, & a short rest will heal it. Praying that it will subside quickly, & back to life as usual. Im taking time to rest up today, & pray Ill be returning to normal by tomorrow! Remaining focused... When a storm is coming, all other birds seek shelter. The Eagle alone, avoids the storm by flying above it. So, in the storms of life... May we soar like an Eagle.**We were made to soar! But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
