Mini-Me was laying up against my chest one day when she said, "Mommy, you're heartbeat is slow." Then she proceeds to make sounds and use hand gestures to mimic the way her heart and then the way my heart sounds. After that, she tells Miss La-Di-Da-Di listen to it as well. She's surprised, too. I guess the only person that isn't surprised is me. I often feel like my heart rate is a little sluggish. These are the times where I also find it difficult to breathe once I get to the top of the stairs in my home. Sometimes I feel a little lightheaded after exercising, too. I know it's the strain of the weight that my body carries around, but I also know it's the thyroid. My thyroid is what got me here; to this unhealthy weight. I know it's causing a lot of the things that go on with me. Is it any wonder why those with thyroid disease have more chance of having a heart problem as well? I think I'm going to research the correlation a bit and see what can be done to make things better.
