I had to go to the doctor last week for a med check in order to get refills on my scrips. I mention to him that I get short of breath pretty easily and that it's probably just cuz I'm too fat. Now I have to go for a Persantine Stress Test on Wednesday

Then he did a boatload of blood tests. Today they call and say my blood sugar is elevated so now I have to have the 3 hour glucose tolerance test. GEESH!!! Ya all pray for me, would ya? Pray they find that everything is just fine. I don't have time for sickness right now! I have a son graduating high school and getting ready for college. Plus several DVD's to make for people's graduation parties. Plus I just did Senior Pics for a kid who waited till the last horn blew. Now I have to get them doctored up and sent in for printing. And still have daycare to do, and all of the other stuff I regularly have to handle. Do I sound a little stressed?????

Margie, have you stopped to consider that you don't have to do everything your doctor says? If you don't want to go for the testing then don't.

Bless your heart.......may the Lord speak peace to you in all you're dealing with!

The stress you're under is probably causing all the symptoms! However, it can serve as a warning. A very serious underlying problem can be found by a simple test the doctor recommends. I hope that's not the case with you... and will pray that everything is just fine. But please go ahead and have the tests... you mean too much to your family (and to us at AFF) to not take the advice of the doctor and have the tests done.

We'll be praying for good results on those tests.

Margie, please do what your doctor asks, it is better to be safe than sorry. And it is better to have a little inconvenience now, than to have to deal with a bigger problem later. Think of all the people in your life who need you to be healthy for them!

But I understand what you are saying, I went through a period where it seemed like every time I went to the doctor it was something new. VERY frustrating! I am praying for your health and for your patience!
