Neurologist

So today was my visit with Dr. Green, the Neurologist. She took my blood pressure and listened to my heart and told me it was beating at 129 per minute, but it is supposed to be 60-80. When she told me my heart was fast, I told her that in health class we measured our heartbeats and mine was somewhere in the 120s. So now I have to go to my pediatrician(sp) for that. She asked me a ton of questions, had me walk and jump and other movement things, and she also measured me and my mom's head and said mine is big, bigger than my mom's(but I already know that I have a huge head:) So she said the muscles in my neck are tight, so she thinks they are stress headaches. Since I told her that I get them on one part of my head, I am going to need an MRI, which can take hours to do. You have to stay completly still. Also, Dr. Green said I am going to have to get an I.V. with contrast dye. I was looking up some facts about MRIs on the internet, and it says contrast dye is only used for MRIs of the heart, so I do not know if she is going to do an MRI of my heart too, for the fast heartbeat.

At 11 or so I am going to go to Amish Country with my friend so I will update after that is over.

Tomorow is my appointment with Dr. Papandreas(sp), the orthodontist, and Friday I have the ENT. I found out today that on Friday, at 2:00 I go to one doctor for hearing tests, and then another doctor in the same building for the results and stuff.

Again, I will update after Amish Country.
