Update on the heart

I just got the results back from my heart monitor test! The test lasted a month, and I never want to do that again. Anyway, so it was determined was that when I have panick attacks, they aren't registered emotionally or psychologically, but physically. So instead of having a complete break-down or freak out, my body reacts instead of my mind. When that happens, my heart starts going crazy for a little bit, which is why I went to the doctor in the first place. I evidently experience tacchycardia (fast heartbeat) and palpitations (irregular heart beat) when I have these episodes, but nothing that the doctor nor the on-call cardiologist was concerned about. Hooray!
