oh no, that test sounds bad. what’s made them test you? i pass out a lot, and have in the past fainted simply from being stood up for too long :/ i’ve had my heart monitored, been strapped up to an ECG machine, as well as a portable one which i had to wear for 24 hours.

i hope everything goes okay with it - do keep us posted :)

GAH!! Hey: I’m pulling for you, friend.

It’s funny that hospitals are allowed to force patients to sign the “We won’t sue” forms. I think that should come with a flipside. Something like, “If you can’t cure me, I don’t pay.” Something like that.

You are probably the only one I know who’s awake right now.
I’m so comforted by the fact that you commented.

Man, I don’t like being the first to comment!
First of all, I’m glad you shared. I’m a nosy little person online and like to know what’s going on. ;) In this case, that you’re okay. The test does sound frightening. No one would be looking forward to that. That clause is just to cover their bases when in reality it means nothing. People sue hospitals all the time, lol. Not that that’s your primary concern. I’ve fainted enough times to not be toooo afraid of it anymore. Think of it as spontaneously going to sleep. :) If I understand correctly, you have to pass out for the test to end. I’m not sure. So, for that part, you’ll be okay! They’ll get the blood back to where it should be. And they wouldn’t be testing you if it weren’t in your best interest.
As for the results…just prepare yourself for your worst case scenario. That way when you hear, you’ll either be relieved, or you’ll be somewhat ready for it. You’ll have many loved ones to help you celebrate or cope. :) And you have us online!
