Been in hospital

[Dobie]

Remember the stomach virus I had a couple of weeks ago? I've just spent the last 8 days in the hospital because it traveled to my heart lining. I passed out last Friday night and was taken by rescue to the local hospital, then transferred to another nearby hospital that specializes in heart issues.
My blood pressure was 193/121 when I went in, and my heart rate was over 130. I don't remember passing out or going to the first hospital. The fluttery feeling and pain I was getting in my chest for the first couple of days afterwards, scared me more then anything else in my life. I really thought I was dying, which certainly didn't help the blood pressure.
I've been sent home on lisinopril for my BP, metroprolol for my heartrate and a few different medications for some stomach issues I continue to have.

I'm still pretty frightened, even with these meds, my bp and heart rate are up and down. The doctor in the hospital has basically told me to lose the extra weight now or die. Also feeling a little depressed, but I'm hoping that eases as I start to feel better.

Hope to be on here more in the coming days, I've really missed chatting with all of you.
