My appointment went well today. The difficult part about trying to diagnose anything is that being pregnant kinda messes up most of the test results. "Do you get out of breath?" Why yes dr. going up the stairs almost does me in. "Do you notice a rapid heart rate?" Why yes dr. once again going up the stairs gets me every time! "Do you have chest pain?" Why yes Dr. but is it acid reflux, heart burn or legitimate chest pain? He said that if I wasn't pregnant there were a few tests that he would want me to have, but because I am pregnant it will alter the results. I am going in next week for an ecocardiograham on Tuesday. While listening to my heart he heard a heart murmer, but once again it could be caused by being pregnant. So for now it seems like there is not a whole lot that they can do until after the baby is born and my levels are back to normal. So that is the story for now.
Thanks so much for all of the love and supportive comments!

Poor Heather!
The only thing I can think of at scary times is to remember who is in charge up there! Someone who loves you and wants what is best for you and knows absolutely everything (although I sure wish He would share all that knowledge with me!) He can bring you peace when it seems impossible to ever receive peace.
I hope everything turns out ok! I too volunteer to steal Bailey away. Alli and I will fight Olivia and Heather for her. Since Heather is nauseous and pregnant, I think I can take her on!
I am so sorry to hear that you are going through a scary spot. I hope things go well for you & will keep you in my prayers.
thanks for the update, i wish they could give you a real answer, hopefully things will all go back to normal after you have the little one! i have you in my prayers as well!
I'm sorry you have to wait to figure things out. I hope it's nothing serious and the scary symptoms you're experiencing will go away. I'm sorry it's been such a stressful time for you!
Every time I'm pregnant they tell me I have a heart murmer, but this past pregnancy they finally did further testing and decided it was just one of those weird pregnancy things.
Hopefully once you have little Max things will resolve themselves. If you ever need help with the kids or want to talk, I'd love to do what I can!
Wow Heather...I haven't been checking blogs for a while and just saw yours...what a stressful thing. I swear, everything seems to be agrivated in pregnancy. Things that I never had problems with before seemed to come to a head while being pregnant!! BUT with that said, this is definitely more scary than anything I had...I am so sorry. I am glad that things have calmed down for at least right now and pray that there are no further problems. You are in my prayers!
Just get that little guy here with both him and you safe! You need to relax, so make Travis pamper you and take all of these pretty ladies up on letting them steal Bailey for a while! :) Good luck!
Heather...oh my goodness!! That must be frustrating not to know what is up...I hope all turns out well!! Keep us posted on the test results and try to take it easy. Okay yeah right I know you have three little chillins...but try at least.
Heather you take care of yourself and your baby! That is scary but you are such a strong woman of faith! Heavenly Father will take care of you and your family.
Heather, what a scary thing to go through while pregnant. Most women have so many worries about the baby anyway, and then to have to add on your own health concerns...that has to be hard! Good luck!!!
I have dealt with heart issues since I was in high school and my pregnancy made it a lot worse. In fact I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) the day before I found out I was pregnant. They said that they were probably able to catch it because of the pregnancy hormones otherwise it could have been years once again before they found it or it became worse. I had to go on medication during my pregnancy because a few times I was pretty close to passing out, not good. I think the hardest was not being able to work out anymore. They caught the rhythm by having me wear a king of hearts monitor. Then once Aphia was born I had a cardiac Oblation and now only have problems if I have too much caffeine or chocolate which sucks because if chocolate were a man I would marry him!! Good luck. Let me know how everything turns out. Jenn
