Oh joy. I had another spell with my atrial fibrillation Thursday night. Waited until my husband got home from his show and he took me to the hospital.
I almost fainted, had shortness of breath, high blood pressure and my heart was laboring. I know, I should have called EMS, but didn't want my husband to arrive to a note on the door!
Anyway, the cardiologist changed my heart med (stronger dosage) and I came home this afternoon.
I missed everyone!! Posted by sixgoofykids (Member # 11141) on :
Glad you're home and doing better. Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Thanks, six!!
I forgot to add that the cardiologist ALMOST "went there" about the Lyme. I could see his wheels turning when he asked me if I'd seen an ID dr.
I said no, Dr "".. and he said, "Oh, a lyme specialist?" I said yes, and it was left there.

Sorry TuTu. Hope you are feeling better now.
Posted by Alv (Member # 15192) on :
TUTU I am sorry about you.
Are you sure that you have nothing else ...besides lyme and babesia...it seem like you still have something ..that can really cause it.
Seems to me that you really have something untreated !This ie what my gut is telling me right now....!!!

Thanks for letting us know tutu! So upsetting since you were finally feeling better.
Yes, you really should have called someone. I'd hate to see your husband come home to you on the floor! OK, enough scolding. I'm just glad you are home safe and sound.

Miss Tutu,
I'm so sorry to hear of your scare, but thank goodness the docs at the ER didn't hassle you too much about Lyme. I'm glad your husband was with you at the hospital.
Recover quickly!!

OH, hadn't really thought that out!!! I always feel confident (well, sorta!) that I'll be "OK."
I've never called EMS, so I'm just hesitant to do so. Don't want to be "overdramatic!"
Thanks to all for your best wishes. I know they are heartfelt and I love you all!!

No, it was making me feel really dizzy. So they changed me to Verapamil.
