Here's pretty much what happened in December I was in an all girls wrestling tournament and got slammed pretty hard where it was hard to breath obviously i lost, and the next match it was hard to do anything but i won that match despite my injury. I went to practice the next day and we did Indian runs around the track which got me dizzy and i couldn't really breath so I had to stop practice after that.
I went to the doctors the next day and they referred me Orthopedics and from there physical therapy for my right shoulder i had to stop physical therapy before it ended though because my chest continued to hurt and my doctor sent me to a cardiologist in February, the cardiologist said one of my valves was making a sound it shouldn't and made me wear an ECG, I'm doing an ultrasound on my chest on May 24 but won't know whats going on till then but I can no longer run if i do my chest starts to acting up (it starts to beat real fast even if i barely started to run or it starts to pound real hard) and I can't really breath
I've notified my recruiter and station commander but i don't know if i can still join or not I'm suppose to ship out on July 19 and my MOS is 68S option 4 please help?
No I haven't done my physical fitness test, and my recruiter won't let me. The nurse said it could be a heart murmur that i was born with but the slam just brought it out and made it worse
