HI ALL,
WELL 3 MONTHS AGO I SEEMED TO BE VERY HEALTHY WITH NO HEART PROBLEMS, I WOKE UP
ONE MORNING AND MY FEET AND ANKLES WERE SWOLLEN I THOUGHT NOTHING OF THIS AS I
WORK 10 HRS SITTING A GOOD PART OF IT EACH DAY THIS CONTINUED THEN I NOTICED I
WAS VERY FATIGUED STILL NOT TO CONCERNED I LET IT GO FOR A FEW DAYS. THEN ONE
DAY I FELT HORRIBLE I TOOK MY PULSE AND NOTICED IT WAS VERY IRATIC ONCE AGAIN I
LET IT GO AND CALLED IN SICK ABOUT 1:30 AM I WOKE UP FEELING VERY SHORT OF
BREATH AND NEW SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT SO I TOOK MY SELF TO THE ER. I WAS TAKEN
RIGHT IN MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS HIGH AS WAS MY PULSE RATE THE DID A EKG AND RAN
MANY TESTS . THE DR CAME BACK IN AND ASKED IF I HAD EVER BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH
ATRIAL FIBULATION WHICH I HAD NOT SO HE EXPLAINED THAT TO ME AND GAVE ME SOME
MAGNESIUM SINCE HE SAID THAT WAS ALSO CRITICALLY LOW HE CALLED A CARDIOLOGIST
THEY ADMITTED ME. THE NEXT MORNING THE DID A HEART CATH IN WHICH THE DR SAID
THAT MY HEART WAS IN GOOD SHAPE NO SISEASE OR BLOCKAGES,THEY STARTED ME ON
ANTIARYTHMICS FOR THE AFIB, I WAS STILL HAVING SOME PROBLEMS SO THE DR ORDERED A
HOLTER MONITOR FOR 48 HOURS AFTER WHICH HE SAID THAT THERE WAS SOME DROPPED
HEART BEATS SO HE CHANGED MY MEDICINE AROUND SOME AND DID ANOTHER HOLTER MONITOR
TEST THE RESULTS OF THAT WERE WORSE THAN THE FIRST HE SAID MY HEART WAS PAUSING
FOR 4-5 SECONDS AND THAT I NEEDED A PACEMEAKER SO NOW I ALSO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH
WHAT THEY CALL BRADY-TACKY SYNDROME I HAD A PACEMAKER INPLANTED 6 DAYS AGO SO
FAR I DON'T NOTICE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY I FEEL BUT I KNOW IT NEEDS TO BE
ADJUSTED.THANKS FOR READING MY STORY IT IS AMAZING HOW THE BODY CAN CHANGE IN
SUCH A SHORT TIME AND I AM VERYTHANKFUL FOR THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE TO US TODAY
TO HELP THESES PROBLEMS.
