Tedo; I've been having episodes of syncope (passing out), and they're trying to figure out why. So here's the results...
Blood-work; All came back good/normal. A little high on the white blood cell count, but being that the last three work-ups all showed the same, they're just saying that I run high with that. Especially since a closer look showed no infection or neutra-fills. No diabetes, no anemia, good cholesterol levels, and I'm allergic to Russian thistle.
Stress Test; doctor said it came back normal. With that in mind, it also said that I have a mild abnormality at the EKG baseline, a ST & T abnormality, and a high resting heart rate. He had no idea what that meant, but is sending me to an actualy cardiologist to have him review my EKG and to possibly get an echo-cardiogram.
Chest X-Ray: Normal, no abnormalities.
So I don't know what to make of it. We shall see what happens when I see the cardiologist. In the mean-time, google here I come. I want to know what these 'abnormalities' could be (not self diagnosising, just going to do some research.)
doctor did say it was important to know what happens when I do have these episodes. He thought it was very interesting about my time being passed out (where I thought I continued to work/move). He also said it is important to document when I have any sort of 'episode' and what exactly happens. He also wants me to keep a log on how long it lasts, how often they happen, and if I do pass out, how long until I come to, and recognize my surroundings. Depending on what the cardiologist says, we may be looking at a neurologist next.
