More health issues.

.

My pulse now seems quite high. The last few times I checked b.p., the pulse was running at about 111 or so. I did a very little research and it seems that this could be one more bit of evidence that I have a thyroid problem. Their is a risk that I may have developed heart problems, though I am thinking that more unlikely than not, but who knows. There are some other possible health culprits, though those seem even more of a longshot.

Now, I do not think I would care so much, however, between the high blood pressure and the high pulse rate, my ears not only ring, they have started to hurt a great deal. With every pulse, my right ear definitely and my left ear at times hurt to the point of worry. To that end, I called the V.A. to get in. Luckily or not, they had a cancellation tomorrow afternoon with the, I believe, nurse practitioner. All I want, since they cannot really seem to help me, is to know if this is something serious. I want to know if it means I will be dying sooner rather than later or if this is just a minor thing.

Unfortunately, I do not trust them to offer treatments. However, I would allow some monitoring. If I am going to die, I am good with that. It would simply be nice to know in order that I may financially plan a bit. For instance, I do not think beginning in on a house would be the best of plans. As well, college would be out, if I can continue tinkering with math and physics until I died. However, if this is just another "long term" worry, then I can get back to business as usual.

Now, if this is as I suspect, just another in a long line of long term issues, I am hoping they might have something that would at least ease the pain of the earache (local, not global painkillers or treatments though). I am desperately hoping I can at least trust them to deal with an EAR ACHE! CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Although, to be honest, I expect them to say there is nothing they can do unless I do what has proven to not work in the past in order to take care of illnesses they seem to choose not to tend, tend rightly, or when they find something that works to deliver that curative. Just saying...

Frustrated much? :p
