Gotta go back.

Dear Diary;

I’ve got to make another doctors appointment before I leave. I freaking hate the doctor, man. This sucks.

I’ve been on the Rabeprazole for almost a month now- I’ve only got like.. 6 pills left in the bottle. In a way, I can see how it’s helped- I have no more heartburn (which is great!) but lately I’ve still had that weird feeling in my chest- which was the whole reason I went in the first place. Clearly this medicine isn’t taking away the problem so I’ve gotta go back and make someone actually LISTEN to what I’m trying to tell them instead of just prescribing the first thing that comes to their mind. *insert eye roll* It makes me worry more and more that something isn’t right with my heart. The ER doctor assured me that it was fine- but like I mentioned before, all she did was listen with a stethoscope and check my blood pressure. *sigh*

People taking being healthy for granted. I’m just sayin’.

with the heart burn out of the way that eliminates one problem and they can’t keep blaming your problems on that. drs suck :/

Have you ever heard of an echocardiogram? It’s basically a sonogram that they do of your heart. It measures all kinds of fascinating stuff. I’ve had probably 15 between 2005 and 2007 (they are not painful). You can actually hear what your heart sounds like when the tech is doing the scan. Might be worth suggesting to your doc.
