I always feel so greedy asking for prayers for myself but I'm really scared. I am 17w3d pg today. I thank the Lord everyday I am pg. Today i went for a check up and mentioned the terrible heartburn i've been having. It feels like there is a lot of pressure on my chest and since i tend to hyperventilate if i'm in pain and/or worried, i start having a hard time breathing. I mentioned this to the doc and she is sending me for a couple tests tomorrow. At 8:45, i am having an u/s to see if my gallbladder has grown too large and is causing the massiver heartburn. That isnt going to be so bad. BUT, then the doc said she wants me to see a cardiologist, just to make sure the pain isnt from my heart. She is worried about it because of my high blood pressure. Today it was 142/82...the highest its been since i've been pg and i've been taking my blood pressure pills.
Sorry for the long story, but if you wouldnt mind saying a little prayer for me, i'd appreciate it. Thank you
lifted for you! Please remember it is okay to ask for prayers for yourself!
Thank you. Cardiologist said my heart is fine... a little big, but so am I, so its not a big deal. Ekg and echo were normal. Now, i have to wait for the u/s results to see if my gall bladder is ok. Having an enlarged gall bladder isnt as scary as having a heart problem so i'm feeling ok. Just have to learn to relax.
