Irregular Heartbeat....fiction?
Posted: 01-09-04 22:12pm

My roomate has taken a "break" from work. He states that each time he gets the flu/cold he also gets pleuritis. (a doc told him this years ago) this time when he went to the doc he said that she said she heard an extra heartbeat every third beat of his heart. Supposedly she stated that it wasn't a murmur and it wasn't due to the heart itself. It was due to what was going on in his body with the pleuritis. The reason I say he is full of crap is because everytime he goes to the doctor he has a strange/rare/unheard of disease raging in his body starting with a 'stroke' at age 18. He knows I am a student nurse and he refused to give me the name of this heart medication the doc supposedly put him on. He gets himself off work and lays on the couch to play video games. Hypochondriac? Possibly. Someone help answer my unanswered questions. Or am I being to harsh?
