So what causes my elevated heart rate?

Now keep in mind, this is not a medical diagnosis, but stress definitely is a contributing factor. Hubby is currently protecting me from certain family drama that causes my heart to race! But the shortness of breath surely is connected to physical activity, like my walk from the car to the mail box yesterday. Then the shortness of breath causes your heart rate to rise, so again, I am not a doctor, so this clearly is not a diagnosis blog entry.

At any rate, I have an appointment in about 2 weeks with the specialist...apparently that's a "rushed" appointment. I have calmed down a lot since initially having the EKG done, but I am still overcome with worry at times. All the What If's...

What If is no way to live your life.
