I’m a hypochondriac, and so am I


The doctor look perplexed at me. Can’t say I blame him, I was distraught over clean test returns. Nothing is wrong with me.

I have been having something going on, I’ll call it a “fluttering” because I have don’t know the medical vernacular. It has been around for about a week, but I am stubborn about going to the doctor for just this reason. However the other night I was wakened buy it. SO I go in.

They ran a test, it was a lot of fun, it was like looking for a machine we haven’t used yet and “trying it out”. Mostly they tried everything because they were finding nothing.

In the end I was told I am healthy, oh good. Now, I do not want to be sick, but I don’t want to be crazy either. The Doc, suggested that it might be stress. Eh; I think the stress thing is something that Doctors say when they don’t know, but they don’t want to call you crazy.

Oh, Steven, you are not crazy. Sometimes the doc just doesn't find it. Hope you feel better soon!

Could be worse. You could have every single ache, pain, and weird health issue immediately attributed to "just another pregnancy thing"... not saying that's currently happening to anyone you know. Argh.

A fluttering I assume is a palpatation in your heart area this can be caused by irregular heart beat or anxiety ie.. stress. The best way to tell is to wear a 24 hour holter monitor and hope to God the fluttering happens during that time. Did they do an echo? Call me if questions.
