COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

Sounds like the same symptoms my dad had last year! He is so stressed out taking care of his 95 yr old parents. It has worn him down and he was hospitalized and they didn't find anything wrong with his heart.

Hopefully for you it's just stress and worry.
Maybe you need a nice cold beer or glass of wine in the evening to relax

I had an amazing amount of stress in the last few months, so I figured that's what it was. But now, I'm almost 100% stress free and this condition....Whatever it is I've had since I was about 11 years old. My younger half brother also has it. But not as badly. It seems to get worse and last longer as I age.

homeward bound for an early night

Hows the hoof?

Does alcohol slow down your pulse?
If so, I'll pick up beer on the way home.
I don't think it does.
This crap doesn't even slow down when I sleep!

Listen to your body and don't hesitate to see your dr. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Who cares if they send you home.

I used up all my sick and vacation time taking care of my mother in Georgia.
At this rate I'm minus several hundred bucks a day while I'm in a hospital, plus the cost of the E.R. room....To be to;d a day or two later again that they found nothing!

I don't think it does either. I would make another suggestion but it may not be strictly leagle!

one battle ends, another begins do you think oxygen would help? I know you can't just pop doc the store for a tank, is it possible to get a tank from the doc?

I have just spent the afternoon on a training course sat next a very polite, neat young girl who didn't stop all afternoon, the smell was awful

Omg! You poor thing! Hope they gave you a full course credit for sitting next to a farting fool all day!

I made am oxygenator out of a plastic bag and an oxygen tank from a welder. I breathed it for over 5 minutes.
It did nothing.
But I'm glad I tried and ruled it out. I also plunged my whole head in a chest of ice and water. I thought it worked...but it didn't.

No, paradoxically it tends to have the opposite effect.

I just downloaded another free phone app.
The one for pulse rate is spot on. I compared it to the one at the hispital.
Now I've got another one for oxygen saturation and I'm at 96-97%.
So it's not that. This one also works through the camera, though don't ask me how.
There are some seriously cool free apps!

There's an app to check O2 sat???!!! How???? I have a little gizmo that you slip on tip of your finger to read the capillary sats which is pretty accurate, but... Phone app???!!! Wow!!!

Good morning.
last night out of the blue my heart started pounding again. I was just chilling and hanging out with the dog without another thought or worry on my mind.
I checked my pulse...186. This morning it's still 183. I'd say maybe these pills aren't very effective.
Back to square one for sh-ts sake!
Feeling like crap. Every action is such a drain. I showered 20 minutes ago and I'm already sweating.
I'll call my cardiologist after 9. It's not even 5 am.

Ed how about you call your cardiologist now, ask receptionst to put the nurse on, ask for the nurse's name, write it down and the time of your call. Tell the nurse what your numbers are and how you are feeling, i bet they'll add you on to today's schedule. Those 24 hr Holter monitors will only detect arrhythmia if irregular rhythm occurs within that 24 hr period, which lot of times it just doesn't happen. Good cardiologist will know that. For tachyarrythmias they usually use medication (digoxin, beta and calcium channel blockers. It's just a matter of finding the right combo for you. It wouldbe also good to have a very through picture of the heart muscle itself to see if there's anything organic setting off all those misfiring beats. Please, please! Do not ignore it, or push it lower on your priority list. Definitely not lower than money. Money is just a THING and it's attainable and we can always get it back if we have to or really want to. There are couple things though that we CAN't get back: those are TIME, HEALTH & LIFE that's been lost. Ed, please get this checked TODAY

Btw in human medicine O2 sat over 92% while we are breathing room air is considered ok. I like to see them more like 95% and up
