Hi Hopeso, I have had some symptoms similiar to yours. My heart would race with little or no exercetion and my blood pressure would drop to the point where i would pass out. I was diagnosed with...
Hi Inspired...I understand how you feel. I'm 27 years old and female...I was diagnosed with moderate/severe asthma last Feb. Wow...just realized it's been almost a year! I'm sure I've had it a lot...
Thanks Pat. Today has been a day. I've been really dizzy this afternoon...so dizzy that I didn't even go shopping when a friend invited me. I saw my cardio yesterday. I found out one reason I've felt...
Sigh...Never let your husband talk to your nurse. I called to reschedule my cardio appt and asked to speak to a nurse. I wanted to tell her about how I'd been feeling. Hubby kept telling me things to...
Hi y'all, Already out of the hospital!! YAY!! My doc did something a little different this time. He told my husband about it and then my hubby tried to explain it to me...I'm not sure I understand...
Thanks Pat. Nerves are starting to get to me. This is the last day of school before break. I'm missing the Christmas Mass. And my grade is the one doing it! :( Oh well...it's for a good reason...
Hey y'all, Yep...ya read the title correctly. I'm going to have a fourth ablation next Wed, Dec 21 at 6:30am. I started having tachycardia problems again in October. My EP told me he swore he wasn't...
That is a good question! I've had four EP studies (three with ablations). For each, I had a catheter inserted so I didn't have to worry about the bathroom. I HATE getting that thing put in and...
I went for a pulse and bp check with a nurse yesterday. They were both fine but I was feeling really dizzy. The nurse insisted I lay down and talk to the doc. I told the doc that I almost passed out...
Well, I had an appt with my regular cardio this afternoon. He increased my toprol to 200mg and wants to see me in six weeks. I did not respond at all to drugs before. He thinks that I could respond...
Thanks Teri. I actually have next Monday off of school to do report cards. My principal told us that if we didn't have a need to come in (ie - report cards were done) we could stay home. I wonder if...
Hey y'all, I'm not quite sure what to do right now. Two weeks ago, I fell in the shower. My doctor thinks I passed out...and more and more I'm inclined to believe him. I remember being dizzy. He told...
I'll tell you the truth, I didn't enjoy my tilt table test....not at all! But, I'm still glad I had it since it pretty much gave me a concrete diagnosis. I think I showed every classic sign during...
I made it! We had a different deacon doing the class last night and he was really good...kept me quite interested...I was really worried I was going to fall asleep! Luckily, that didn't happen....
It could be possible...but I don't know for sure since I'm not a doc. Have you had a tilt table test? I had one and failed it with flair...my heart rate just so high so quick the tech doing it...
My hubby told me that their warehouse burned. I was shocked! That is simply terrible. I'm glad at least the movie things weren't destroyed. Well, I fell asleep shortly after posting yesterday. I woke...
My doc gave me two options...physical therapy or drugs. I chose the drugs since they're a lot cheaper. lol He told me to put heat on it as well. The flexeril he gave me is making me so tired!! I'm...
What's Wallace and Gromit? Teri...I can no longer claim you as one of my own. lol Libby's right...google, baby, google! W&G is a British "cartoon." Nick Parks, the creator, made three shorts with...
Hi Amy, Goodness! That's a lot to go through all at once!! I have POTS myself along with supraventricular tachycardia (though that seems to be more under control after three ablations.) I take Toprol...
quick update for y'all on my fall... My neck was hurting real bad today so I decided to see about seeing my doc...he was able to fit me in. Long story short...I have whiplash. I actually fell so hard...
ya know...this just isn't my week. I got a bit dizzy and fell in the shower this morning...my ankle is swollen again...my head it killing me...and let's just say sitting is a bit painful right now....
hey, i'm alright...heart is doing good still...just trying to keep up with other stuff that's going on. asthma is acting up...done something to my left shoulder again and my right leg is killing...
Asthma...it truly stinks not being able to breath. But if this magic wand would take away extra pounds, I might consider that instead. That could help numerous things. /community/emoticons/smurf.gif...
I wish I could sleep more...at least lately. I go to bed around 9 or 10 at night and usually wake up at 4:30 in the morning. So yeah, I was asleep when you made your post....
How about an option for "Yes - when there's not a shortage."? I started getting flu shots when I started teaching third grade...our nurse arranged for them to be given to teachers at our...
hey all, sorry been so quiet...been super busy this past week. the Eucharist Congress was this past week for my diocese and i had to work that...80 4th graders all day on saturday...yikes. one of...
Hiya! I had my first ablation in April '05 too. My second was in June and the third the end of July. My docs said it would take six months to a year to feel completely well. I have had that fluttery...
Thanks Teri! I am flying high right now still. It's 5:30am and I have a smile on my face about it. /community/emoticons/smile.gif (And believe me, it's hard to smile at 5:30am!) NCS is...
Woohoo! I had a terrific electrophysiologist appt!!! I don't have to go back for six months!! For the leg pain I've been still having he said I have scar tissue there and it's trying to break up so...
Breathing? Important? Heck, I'm addicted to it! I feel like I'll die if I ever stop. Lil...
Hey, Just wanted to let you know that I'm feeling better. My pf was finally above 80% this morning. I'm glad I started the prednisone...I think that's what really helped. Woohoo! I can take a deep...
Hey, If you hadn't asked me today, I couldn't have told you really how mine is prescribed...I always loose the boxes. I got another refill today to keep at school so I can type what's on the label....
wow...I never would have thought. One phrase got me..."using it [inhaler] to increase alertness or get high." Ummm...I hate to use my inhaler! I makes me all jittery. My pf was down this morning so...
Hey y'all, I don't think I'll be able to make it to chat tonight. My school's PTO open house is tonight. It starts at 7pm EST. One memo I saw said it would end at 9:30pm!! That's gonna make it a...
I'm here! I'm here! School has had me very busy. And I'm simply exhausted. I just don't seem to have any energy. Fell asleep around 7 last night. Thank goodness my wonderful hubby woke me up so I...
I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea this past spring. I was tired all the time and falling asleep really early every day...like before 7pm a lot. I have a CPAP machine that use almost all the...
Hehehe....ummmm.... /community/emoticons/yeah.gif /community/emoticons/yeah.gif /community/emoticons/yeah.gif I need to work on my sleep hygiene. I fall asleep on the couch every night. Hubby wakes...

Great article Teri! I was diagnosed with asthma at 26...about six months ago. (I'm 27 now.) The diagnosis was a surprise to my and my pcp!! I had been send to a pulmonologist for possible sleep...
morning everyone! can someone tell me how to arrange for 'morning' to occur later in the day? this waking up early thing is getting old! i'm doing better. my incision site still hurts but not as bad....
Teri, Me? not listen to you? when has that ever happened? /community/emoticons/tongue.gif I'll give it some more time. I go see my ep at the end of Sept so I'll mention it then at the very latest is...
hey, not feeling any better. hubby actually caught me wincing today so i told him about the pain i was having. i've been keeping an ice pack on it all day...numbs it. :) Hurts whenever i stand up and...
I hate to say this but I haven't even looked at the incision site on my leg...just knew it was hurting. Boy, you can tell my head is elsewhere! I do hope it's hurting bc of how much standing and...
Hey all!!! What a week. School started Wednesday. I am so tired! /community/emoticons/redface.gif ZZZzzzZZZzzz My leg is starting to ache...where I had the incisions for the ablations and ep study. I...
Hey all, I'm feeling much better today. Who knows just what's going on with me...I seem to end up with the strangest things happening! I didn't sleep well Tue night and when i finally got out of bed,...
Hi y'all, I'm just posting to let everyone know that I'm ok. I made it through last night...didn't sleep very well...exhausted this morning. Why I decided to wake up at 5am anyway is beyond me....
Hey y'all! Sorry I haven't posted much lately. School started for teachers last Wed and I've been sooooo busy since then. open House was today...got home at 8pm!! I'm almost falling asleep writing...
Hey all, First day of school down! After an absolutly delightful /community/emoticons/devil.gif meeting at the high school, I learned that I shouldn't let a child bleed into an open wound (if I have...
Gotta admit...didn't have anything to drink last night. I do like a very occasional drink but the only stuff at my house were some smirnoff twists (wasn't really in that kind of mood) and peach...
Teri...we gotta talk sweetie. Celebrating means Jack Daniels...Celebrating means margaritas...celebrating means a good glass of wine. Celebrating does NOT mean carrot juice!! hugs,...
