janineerrn Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have only been on my event monitor (this time) for less than a week and already have transmitted daily. Every time I transmit they tell me to go to the hospital. I say call my cardio and he calls me back. Looks like Im running about every rythm known to man except for asystole.My adenosine stress test was rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Still I have a bad feeling about that, just know its gonna make me sick. Im scared! My hubby will be out of town but my step dad is taking me.Oh and another thing. My mom gave me a duragesic patch (pain med), I have percocet, vicodin etc... but cant take them, they make me puke. I tried the patch last night and woke up this morning with such relief it was amazing. I wasnt stoned or sleepy or nauseaus. I felt good. I couldnt believe it. No pain today either. I wonder if my doc with rx this for me.Peace AllJanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 That sounds scary. I've never had an event monitor, but I'm sure I've got wacky rhythms too (I have an abnormal ekg so I'm sure it translates). Tests are no fun, but hopefully the results will give the doctors more insight to your condition/symptoms. Good Luck,Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdomaracki Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Geez, i know how that is. No sooner did i get that thing on and would call in, they would tell me to head out to the hospital cause something was wrong. Obviously, i was fine, just my pots.Hope all goes well with your tests!

mom4cem Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hi,I've had a few rhythms show up on the event monitor also. Nothing that they told me to go to the e.r. with but all different types showed up. My cardio had told me to stay away from the e.r. unless he tells me to go. He feels they would give me things that I would not do well with because they don't know me. So, so far I have not had to go.Hope you are feeling well.

morgan617 Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 How did the adenosine test go? Hope it well and you are doing okay. Sometimes waiting for a test is far worse than the actual thing. Hope it is that way for you! morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 That's scary--but glad you can get some reassurance immediately from your cardiologist. I guess they really err on the side of caution with arrythmias during an event monitor episode.Hope the test goes ok--I also find that getting anxious about a test can make it worse than it needs to be. Easier said than done.BTW, what is dumping syndrome?Take care, Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
