A heart rythm disorder.
I have sick sinus syndrome, does anyone else have it. I am scheduled for third cardioversion and then pacemaker.
Today, is one year since I learned I had Afib. I had no idea, he could have told me I was pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am 76.......I learned 1 1/2 months ago, I am SSS, tachy/brady. Next Tuesday, I… read more
Since had 2 x lead pacemaker for Sick Sinus Syndrome (4 yrs) and I stent (LAD) 2 yrs. Doing OK, except out of breath, dizzy . Concerned that PM output reads R Atrium supported 80%, R Ventricle supported 64%
i had cabg 30 years ago which are still working...
After reading questions and answer here I believe the answer to all my concerns points to sick sinus syndrome. My question is how I should bring this to my cardiologist without upsetting him. Most doctors have a dim view of their patients self diagnosing. Everything that I read on this is me. I should add I had a heart attack and stent insertion back in Aug 2017. I have just started going to this cardiologist after having one that did nothing and don't want to get on the wrong side. Any… read more
There is a reason doctor's "PRACTICE" medicine; because they learn from trial and error. Sadly, more than 250,000 people die each year in the U.S. because of medical errors. And it's not all doctors… read more
Used to walk 5000 steps easily every day. Now have to stop every 20 steps to rest to catch breath. Pulse shoots immediately to 130 . Certain I have Obesity Hypo-ventilation Syndrome. Dedicated keto fast weight loss program diet down by 14kg in 8 weeks. To have sleep apnea tests Tuesday. Need help breathing help so that I reach target weight 98 by year end. Would CPAP or other oxygen help? New weight loss drugs to try or a NO NO or what? Is bariatric surgery a good option?
I kept getting sinus infections so the Doctor put me on oxygen at night.
My cough was bad enough before with my allergies and sinus issues. Now its much worse.
Interesting I didn’t know about the Entresto connection…but I’m NOT going off that as it raised my EF from 15% to 30%! So I will start buying more Delsym !
I had a cardio-version shock almost two years ago and bought a Kardia-Mobile, normal sinus rhythm ever since. Recently bought a "smart" watch that displays heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen… read more
Amiodarone was prescribed for me after I went back into Afib after an ablation. I was hospitalized. After I was discharged, I remained on Amiodarone. My TSH level kept climbing. 5 months later, I collapsed at home in respiratory failure and heart failure. 911 took me to the hospital. 2 cardiologists and a lung specialist, believed I had a toxicity due to Amiodarone. My iodine level was 1495, normal is 52 to 109. My thyroid was not been right for a year and I've been taking thyroid medication… read more
I was on Amiodarone for about 20 days, but i reacted to it. It dried out my skin and a rash over most of my body. It seemed to take about 2 weeks to get out of my system. I ended up having second… read more
