Hooray for heart monitors!!
Before that I had a heart ultrasound. And good thing that my heart was fine because during the 24 hours I had to monitor on, I also had the stomach flu. So, the diary they wanted me to do was lovely; 6pm threw up, 6:30pm threw up, that went on every 30 minutes for almost 24 hours, it was fantastic!!! Anyways, flash forward to today and my follow up. Like I said before, my heart is fine. But what did I also figure out in the last 2 weeks? When I would have my "episodes" and felt like I was passing out and my blood pressure was sky-rocketed and my heart was palpitating and I was almost going to pass out......I had just had coffee or iced tea or even Excedrin Migraine.....what do they all have in common? Caffeine!! Some more testing and guess what? I have a severe allergy to caffeine!!! Kind of like the kids who cant have nuts or even look at a nut without going berserk? Yeah, that's now me, only from caffeine. Don't get me wrong, I am glad we found out what has been wrong with me and it is isn't going to kill me or have me go through any type of treatment, so I am happy. But no chocolate? That cant be right! So, what did I do? I came home and had a hand full of chocolate covered Dibs.....and right about now I feel like I am dying.....I think I have a severe caffeine allergy!
