For the last five years I have been on high blood pressure medication. It has always been a problem for me as I am obese, and as I forgot to mention in my last few questions I also have diabetes. I made the stupid mistake of quitting both my diabetes meds and my high blood pressure meds. I suppose this was part of a new ‘natural medicine’ craze. Yes I know I am stupid for doing that, however, I am on them again as not taking them really didn't help.
The problem is that for the last few days I feel like I felt like I was getting a cold but it never eventuated, my chest felt tight and painful, I had a strange pain in my jaw and my left hand was achy and tingly, not to mention my breathing is really laboured.
So I went to the doctor and I had an ECG taken. My doctor was on call so she had to leave half way through, so the nurse gave me the reading when it was done. I took a picture on my phone and cropped it a bit so you can read it.
The nurse said she didn't really know how to read them so she just gave it to me and made me an appointment for tomorrow. I am feeling worse now and really want to know what it means.
