I’m kind of scared. For the past week I have been feeling short of breath (dypsnea). Now it could be a case of med student hypochondriasis, but there may be something to this. I have to do a complete physical exam with my classmate on Monday, and when we were practicing for it he noticed that I had pitting edema. I’m trying to tell myself that this is all in my head since we ARE learning about heart failure right in class but I can’t shake the feeling that I may have heart failure or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. I really hope that I’m just being a hypochondriac right now. I’ll let the doctor be the judge of that.
I’m making this post from my iPhone currently in class. I’ll be doing this more to keep my post current.
