Bit of a heart scare

[johnsmit]

Ended up in the emergency yesterday morning. with a heart problem

I was eating my timmies breakfast... and started feeling odd.

Presurecon my chest...light headed and breathing heavy..
I checked my pulse with a phone ap... and it was 119. I checked it again. it was 129..
and i was just sitting sipping tea.. Check again.. it was 140...it was going up..
I though i should go to emergency... i was just feeling . more anxious.. weak..
But i want to go to the gym to have a shower and shave...
I went did that .. and was feeling worse.. Check my pulse again few

time.. 159. 149
.I drove to emergency..this was about hour after i first felt it
.
Only had a short wait.. then i told them what was happening.. They checked. my presure and heart rate.. and admited me..

then I lay in bed . for 4 hr while they . hooked me to a moniter.. toke blood.. and a few akgs..

My heart was stuck at around 140 a min.. went up when i exerted...
They found nothing wrong with my blood.. and i did not smoke.. drink . or do drugs.. So they concluded that.. this was one of those occurances.. which happen .when the heart naturel pacemaker. gets out of wack.... and it need resting..

So they gave me an intervenous drug . that chemically reset. me back to normal.
It felt real odd for a few seconds .. when it was injected .. my heart stoped for a few beets... a d then. the heart rated started going down.. to about. 76 to 80. and stayed there.

It later lower down to the 64... 68.. where min usually is..

i am thankful it was fixable that easy.. and a side from being aittle tiried for the day. i wasok to go.

After looking it up abit.. i think it was cause by me being under to much . stress. and my brain. gave me a wake up call.. it could not take any more..
And when i think about it .. i could of had this . before.. but that time .. i had no ready checked.. and it went away..
.
It may not come back but. now i am apprehensive.. about any odd feeling..

The doctor said.. they can get as meny as 2 to 3 people aday . addmited. with this.. where the heart is beeting to fast.. .my case was . double speed. others can be less . or over 200 beets. a min.. If they dont stop it when ig is so high . they coukd easily die..

When my dad died.. he had a very hjgh heart rate. caused by . high potasioum....His was up at 200

I'm glad everything worked out, Maxx...we often need a reminder to slow down and do some self-care! Happy Holidays!

Get your doctor to set you up with an Angiogram. I had a relative that had been to the hospital several times with high heart rate, high blood pressure, shortness of breath
They were always sent home because the EKG, UltraSound, etc didn't indicate what the problem was.
Then, they died. The autopsy found that the left side of their heart had been clogged up for years and they died when the plaque moved into and clogged part of the right side of the heart. An Angiogram would have found the problem, but they don't like to do them because they require a surgical suite and are expensive.

Damn dude. Get a follow up for sure.
Stress is a serious bitch. I had a nasty stint last year that seems to have been nullified the moment I changed my roll at work to a less stress filled job. Today a year later I feel great.

Make sure you take care of you.

Go for an echocardiogram before an angiogram. Way less invasive and it should indicate whether an angiogram is needed. Best of luck to you! That's really scary. I have been through this a few times. Luckily mine can be controlled with medication. But other times it requires more intervention.

Again, best wishes and I hope it all turns out fine!

They had had an echocardiogram and a stress test just weeks before the heart attack they died from. The Pathologist said that EKGs and echocardiograms sometimes are not interpreted properly. The doctor was giving medication for the acid reflux and metformin for the diabetes. But the boxes that need to be ticked to suggest an angiogram hadn't been ticked over the couple of years the person had been complaining of no energy, shortness of breath and a high heart rate.
