MRI Results Lead To More Testing...

So had my MRI with and without contrast and I seem to be a ok.

No one mentioned any abnormalities like a hidden eyeball or limb from my ill fated twin, nor did anyone find any damage from how many times I had hit my head growing up (very surprising)...but I wonder why they didn't find the chip aliens implanted when I was a child?....oh well if it were easy to spot then that defeats the point of secrecy...;-)

Anyhoo... went a bit off course there....lol...
But back to topic, since my results were clean my doctor has to look elsewhere for why I'm having these severe dizzy spells and the next place to check is the heart. Now she hasn't ruled out seizures completely but considering I seem to have a borderline abnormal resting heart rate and it can jump pretty high very fast when I go from inactive to active or from lying to sitting and standing she scheduled me to have a whats called a Tilt Table Test.
Basically a cardiologist does this test to try to find the cause of unexplained fainting. The Tilt Table Test is what it's name implies. The patient lies on a table and there heart rate and blood pressure are monitored as the table is tilted from a lying to standing position. It allows doctors to monitor your cardiovascular response to a change in position.

Out of all the things I've gone through this passing out thing is the scariest. Not knowing when it will happen or why. I try not to think about it but I can't help being afraid whenever I leave the house on my own. But I'm determined not to let this control me or change my life.
If it happens... it happens...these retarded physicians will figure it out eventually...
