pamela Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Went to see my Cardiologist 50 miles away today and the appt went pretty good. My BP was mamageable at 104/60 and my pulse was an excellent and steady(while sitting) 74bpm and only skipped a beat or two while standing and talking to the doc for 5 min. I did get a little dizzy and start to slur my words but my pulse stayed below 100. The new regimen of Digitek and Coreg are helping me a lot, but the Cardiologist is concerned about th2 12 lb weight gain in 3 weeks. He says if it goes up any more then we will start a diuretic in the morning. I am retaining fluid in my belly and some in my chest wall, (that is why my chest pain has been worse), but my heart is pumping more efficiently. I also found out that the new Cardiologist I will be seeing in January has a few Dysautonomic patients and is very familar with this illness.THe only bad news was the weight gain, and no relief for the chest pain yet.Once again I have to see my Primary care Provider. My typing probably ***** but you should here me try to put a sentance together tright now. I did blank out twice during the weekend while house cleanoingBut hey! The doc says my heart and blood vessels/arteries are very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwen Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hurrah for clean blood vessels. Once you get rid of the extra fluid I bet your chest wont be so tight. Don't clean till you pass out! everytime you clean you stunt a dust bunnies growth! Why before long you'll begin to get downright fond of them. At my hoouse no one complains,because if they do i show them them the duster and welcome them to it.What ever gets clean today is better than nothing and if its a nothing day tommorrow you'll tend to it then. great office visit!:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
