lotsicker Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Did all of you have to go through all these types of testing? I am set up with an Electro study Dr and they are insisting that I go to a lung specialist. This all so frustrating as I only have shortness of breath with the increased HR and my insurance won't cover a TTT.If you have had a PFT test, what did it show and what should I expect from the EP study?

Darlene Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I remember going into the room, the nurse put versed and Demerol in my IV, then I must have fell a sleep or something, then they woke me up during the procedure to pace my heart, I felt my heart racing, and the Dr. was asking me questions, then I fell back to sleep, then I remember waking up, they took me out to this room where I stayed for several hours, normally you get to home a few hours upon awaking, but the Dr. accidently cut my artery, so they didn't wanted me to get up and move around right away, but I felt good when I woke up, it's nothing to be nervous about. I was nervous the night before, but after having the EP Study done, I got nervous for nothing. My fear is, I am afraid of being put to sleep, but you don't even know your being put to sleep. And the procedure is painless. In fact, after waking up, was the best I had felt in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
