Got my results back from the heart monitor...

and my doctor says I have a slight arrhythmia. My pcp will just keep a close eye on it and if things progress then I'll report back to the cardiologist. I still haven't seen the neurologist yet. I talked to my pcp the other day when I was in her office and they still hadn't gotten my paperwork for the recommendation from my OB. So my pcp put the referral in while I was sitting there in the office. I'll probably be seeing my neurologist within a week or so.

are you still having issues with "passing out"??
How is the girlby

They didn't seem too worried when I had my issues. I guess it's not uncommon for people to have the problem.

Well the good thing is that they at least found something. I never did get an answer to my issues and I have worn the holter and event monitors several times. Mine seems to be stimulated when running and it's hard to run with those monitors on. And of course my episodes never occur while I have the monitors anyway.
Good luck with everything!

The docs told me to not worry about mine either... But I'm not pregnant either...
I do find it funny PCP, I was wondering why you were talking to drugs. Then finally it dawned on me, primary care physician.

I just peeled my event monitor off 2 seconds ago. I never had one "event"... bet I'll have one tonight.
Glad you are feeling better!

Thanks everyone.... I have not had a documented episode but I woke up a week ago with the same dizzy and nauseous feeling that I get after I've had an episode so I think I may have had one while I was asleep. There's definitely not set pattern to this. I have noticed that my blood pressure is elevated when I'm about to have one but it's not considered dangerously high. The last bp reading before hand was 135/88. My norm is around 118/68. Don't know what that might mean but just noticed in coinsides with the episodes. Still having normal urine readings. No protein spilling. Not even a slight infection so preeclampsia has been ruled out. Guess we'll have to see what the neurologist has to say.

Sorry for all the abbreviations. You get used to using a lot of them with the military and dealing with insurance offices/ dr's offices.
