Even through there were some incidences of heartbeat weirdness, most of last week has been pretty consistent. Heartbeat was mostly normal at high 50’s bpm. However, this morning at ~7:00 am, my heart started beating fast again. This time, it’s been going at ~110 bpm for about 30 minutes now. I’m not sure what happened. I was lying in bed, either dreaming or hallucinating about a softball game. I then woke up, sat up in bed for a few seconds, and lied down again. I don’t know if it was the rapid heartbeat that woke me up, or it sped up while I was moving around.
My cardiologist said she wanted me to go in for an EKG. I procrastinated since the last incident stopped after about 20 hours. Not sure how long this occurrence will last. If it’s still beating fast at the end of dialysis, maybe I’ll try stopping by their office.

The pessimist in me is again thinking that once a transplant is looking possible, something will go wrong. I thought this was the case last week but my heart was pretty regular when I saw the cardiologist at UCLA. Now that there’s news California hospitals are performing non-emergency surgeries, something will come up to derail my chances at a transplant. Life sucks.

As soon as I wrote the above paragraph, my heartbeat slowed down. It’s now at 57 according to the Fitbit tracker. Ugh, what is happening?
