Today...

• I went to the ER this morning from work at 530am because I was having heart palpulations. They gave me some medicine which brought my heartbeat down from 215-250 to 100 beats a minute. Pretty scary medicine...it stops your heart for a few seconds and defaults it back to a normal speed. I was scared and cried like a baby because I felt helpless, and couldn't make myself calm down. I prayed...alot. And the funny thing is, I woke up perfectly normal at 430am thinking, "Man, I'm so glad I'm healthy." :)

• SVT is a condition in which the heart beats too quickly. There are alot of different things that can cause SVT, but the big ones are: Stress, too much caffeine intake, but no definite cause can be found. Both apply to me. So now I get to see a cardiologist next week, and no: coffee, chocolate, tea, soda, or anything that will hurt my heart.

• The verse that came to mind was..."He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters "Psalm 23:2 . I have always associated this Psalm as a "funeral" one, and I appreciate it more because of the reminder that he made me calm in a time of pure panic. I survived a scary thing by myself, and I was content, knowing that it was definitely not by my own strength to drive myself to the ER with such a rapid heartbeat and fear trickling up my spine.
