Last Friday night when I was watching t.v. with my dad, suddenly I had trouble breathing and my pulse was pumping rapidly. It lasted for about an hour. The same episode occurred the following day again when I was eating lunch with my friend. This Wednesday morning I woke up to get ready to work, but the moment I stood up I fell to the ground. Breathing became difficult and my heart was pumping even faster than the last two episodes. I felt weak and dizzy to the point where I thought I was going to pass out. Then I decided to see the doctor at the school's health center and did two tests. But unfortunately they didn't show anything. I will have to see a cardiologist soon because the next day my vision became blurry and I had almost no energy to do anything at all.
Yesterday night when I was walking back to my room after a movie in my hallmate's room, everything around me seemed to be moving in circular motion and I couldn't walk straight.
It's scary to even think of what is going on with my heart and my health...with the fact that my mom's mother died from a heart attack, and my dad's mom has diabetes and high blood pressure...:( Seeing how everybody is so healthy and happy makes me sad. When I am having a good time with my friends, I will often get a bad headache and it certainly ruins my mood.
Please pray for me and others who are suffering from illnesses. I will try to be strong in the mean time because I know you will pray for me and He will give me the strength I need! =)

Hi May,
Will be praying for you. Please do go see the cardiologist soon so that they can do the necessary tests: blood tests, chest x-ray, EKG/ECG, echocardiogram, Cardiac catheterization, etc... (I did a keyword search on the symptoms on google.com and was worried seeing "heart failure" as one of the results). Keep us updated. Andrea/Raymond
