I went to get the results for my heart tests and consultation today.
Frankly, I didn’t know what to expect or how to react, but thank God, I’m doing good (in health) even though I’m slightly different physically.
- ECG: electrocardiogram, which they place lead probes on you to measure the heart’s activity
- Echo: Transthoracic Echocardiogram, the use of Ultrasound to take 2d scans of the heart, like how they see the baby in the mother’s womb by using a probe after applying some aloe vera like stuff
- Trans-esophageal Echo: This could be considered invasive as they insert the scope down the esophagus after giving some anesthesia. This would provide clearer images as the transducer to nearer to the heart, without the rib cages blocking.
- Treadmill Exercise ECG Test: ECG is taken with varying paces on the treadmill.
I went for many different tests like the above mentioned, so at least its good that I get an opinion of my condition after being unclear for so long. Based on the results, my heart is functioning as well as a normal person. So I would think its like there are engine designed differently (like some engines has different numbers of valves or piston or combustion method, eg. a rotary engine vs four-stroke piston engine) and its okay I’m born with a slightly different configuration or mechanism. I thought if God had designed me like cpu chips, what was needed was a missing pin to give me the blue face of death. (To Darwin’s supporters: I don’t want to spark any war, but consider is that possible that humans have to die of different heart designs so man would evolve with the perfect heart?)
Anyway the results my heart is missing something that others has but it mild at this time for my age. I would jokingly tell others that this “thing” is the lack love and so I suffer from a broken heart.
Ultimately I know that my heart have to lay in the hands of God (actually even the King’s heart is, see Proverbs 21:1). And
God can heal if he wants (Psalm 147:3)
If I were to be able to run, its God’s merciful hand upon me (like on Elijah in 1 Kings 18:46).
The verse I know and have to hold on, Psalm 73:26
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.”
