Tachycardia????

[zadyzu 0]

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you all - I had a bad juju virus and it hosed my computer - I had to wipe the hard drive - bummer! I think I am back now up and running ok. (fingers crossed!)

Thanks for all your info and input!

Anyhoo - I went to the cardiologist yesterday, and it seems I do have some sort of cardiovascular disease - totally unrelated to my banding, and I hope this doesn't mess with my band in any way!! -

I am scheduled for an angiogram on the 12th - that may lead right in to a angioplasty, apparently there is a blockage in one of my cardiac arteries. I am a little freaked about this, I feel that I am a bit young for this to be happening - I am 52 - but with family history I guess not off the scale. I know that medical science is amazing and they can do great things these days (our bands for one!!!)

The Dr. didn't mention the "ablation" I think he wants to see what the problem is first, and the angiogram will show that.

I'm ready for whatever it takes, I want to be on the road for being healthy again.

He started me on a "beta blocker" which I took for the first time today, and I think I already feel better, plus the fact that my mind was eased yesterday by knowing that something can be done about this, and I'm not in any imminent danger, this needs to be treated, but it was a sign that I needed to get to a Dr.

So for now, I will be waiting until the 12th,chill, and keep on keepin on!

I'm glad you got to the doctor when you did, then. Don't worry. Modern medicine is pretty amazing these days, for sure. An angiogram oftens tells good things as well as not so good. Either way, you're working on it early. Sometimes our bodies give us warning signals and we don't hear them soon enough. I'm really glad you heard yours.

Best of luck to you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hey I found this post in a search for the term Tachycardia and I wanted to know more about how you are doing. I’ve also been noticing it as well. I hope you are doing well, and that you are able to respond!
