Big ol' sigh.

So, a little while back, I was having chest pains, and my heart would race, etc. I told my neurologist about it, and he sent me off for some tests. They discovered 1 of my heart valves doesn't work properly, so blood can go in and out when it's not supposed to. That will cause pain and such. There pretty much is nothing you can do about this.

So now I've been getting chest pains again. I went running the other day, and about 5 mins in I got this awful "heart cramp" I thought I was going to faint. I went to the doctor today. At first he was worried I might of had a mild heart attack, so he sent me to get an ECG, which turned out normal. He listened to my heart and everything sounded normal apparantly. He was still worried, so now, in 3 days I'm going to see a cardiologist to apparantly do the treadmill test. So great, I get to run on a treadmill attached to wires and see what my heart does.

I'm just so unhappy about this. I thought I was done with all this medical stuff. Plus, it's going to cost me a whopping $600! for all of it. BIG SIGH. I can't afford it. But, as I was scolded today, "It's your health, money doesn't matter!"

Stay tuned for results.

UPDATE
Melissa called the insurance company, cause apparantly any tests I might need to have done at the Cardiologist aren't covered. So this $400 Treadmill test, I would have to completely pay for. Because I went and saw a doctor regarding my heart, that is it. Anything else to do with my heart is now an on-going issue, and I should just come home to Canada to deal with it. So, worst case senarior, I have a heart attack. That ISN'T covered, because of 1 little doctors visit.
SWEET. So now I can't get the treadmill test, cause I straight up can't afford it.
