Wow, did I ever mess myself up yesterday. My allergies were really flaring up, but I couldn't find any of my allergy pills. I was so miserable with my nose itching and running even if I just bent my head down! I was just blowing my nose and blowing and blowing. So, when Dan called he told me where there were some of his allergy pills. So, I took one. I'm not supposed to take anything that has pseudoephedrine or ephedrine in it as it can raise the heart rate. Well, guess what! Yes, that drug has pseudoephedrine in it. I was so miserable. My chest felt tight and like someone was standing on my chest. My heart was racing and and on top of it I felt bad from my other new heart drug already.

What a double whammy. I couldn't sleep last night. I even took a sleeping pill, 2 aleve, and my leg pain herbs. (My legs were just driving me crazy last night.) What a miserable night. My brain was so tired but my body was on hyperdrive.

When I got up this morning I felt so miserable, my heart rate fresh out of bed was 132! I took my regular morning pill for my heart rate and added my other heart rate pill on top of it. I was still having chest tightness and pressure with shortness of breathe.

Unfortunately I was not able to go to my aquacise class today. I was bummed out, but felt so bad that I knew I wouldn't be able to participate very well.

So, by 11 am I was still so miserable. So, I called my doctor. My heart rate was still 94 with all of those drugs on board so my doctor had me take another heart rate pill. He pretty much chalked all of my symptoms up to that dumb allergy pill. He told me to never ever do that again! Told me I probably wouldn't feel better for another 4 or so hours.

I missed church tonight, but the good news is that I did start feeling better around 6:30 - 7:00. Of course by that time it was time to take my new heart pill that makes me sleepy.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a much better day than the last two. I'm still recovering from my very busy/stressfull weekend. Dan reminded me that it usually takes about 10 days from me to recover from a weekend like that.

Well, I'm going to bed. I sure could use a good nights sleep.
