One of my best friends here (her husband teaches Matthew’s Latin) told me that if they can’t figure out what’s wrong with me by the end of this month, she’d go with me to the Mayo Clinic. She’s been before...she’s from that area and knows the area.
But I go see my new primary care doc today...so I’m optimistic.
Hey...here’s a weird thing that happened...last night, I was just walking down the hall when I felt an odd sensation. Felt like altitude sickness and I think I’ve mentioned that when my BP went down I felt short of breath like at a high altitude. I commented about it to Steve and then went and checked my pressure and it was 128/88! The lowest it’s been in 2 days! It’s been steadily dropping ever since. Right now it’s 104/72!
All I can think is either my bigger patch kicked in (I replaced it over 48 hours ago) or I just went through another high BP spell and the medications kept it from spiking real high.
I just don’t know.
Sure would be nice if the new primary care doc found something.
Maybe they’ll refer you to another specialist that can really get to the bottom of this? What’s left...endocrinology or neurology? :-\
I’m so frustrated for ya!
He said what I did was fine, but that I don't need to stay on the Warfarin. I told him I only took the one, now I'm back to aspirin. He just said to keep track of the episodes, and if they become too frequent, we'll have to look at the possibility of Cardiac Ablation. That's a procedure like catheterization, except with ablation, they actually zap the area of the heart that's causing the arrhythmia and kill the tissue, so it won't keep happening.
Hope your Doc can give you some good info, or at least some good suggestions.
