Today I needed to go and get some bloodwork done and an ecg for my heart. I seem to get these tests done every couple of years. Usually when I get these tests done is when I feel like something isn’t quite right with my heart.

Last week it felt as though my heart was empty instead of pumping. This lasted for two days. So I made an appointment with my doctor. He said things look normal, but wanted to get a a couple diagnostic tests done anyhow.

A few years ago my doctor had me wearing a halter for a few days to test my heart. But nothing really came of it. Perhaps I’m paranoid of my health diminishing since I am now in my late forties. Although it’s more like one of those feelings inside that it could be worse. Perhaps the one time I don’t do something about it, it could have disastrous consequences.

So my bit of health paranoia has me not drinking alcohol, exercising more and trying to eat better (I got rid of our deep fryer). These are genuinely all good things to do anyhow. But it still feels as though my doctor and I are missing something. Or maybe not. I don’t know anymore.

But that’s my health update. Now to try and enjoy my vacation days and take my mind off my heart.
