MightyMouse Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 If this isn't normal for you to have this go on for so long, maybe you should get to the ER, or your doctor's office?Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hi,I think that the adenosine test did this to you. Could you take an antidote of the med they gave you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Dame Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I second Nina. If this is abnormal for you, you should be seen by someone. Hugs, Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacquie802 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I agree with the rest, any new symptom warrants a visit to the doctor...Also, try and stay hydrated...Hope your feeling better tomorrow!Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 So sorry for this. Yes. please call your doctor if you have not and describe what you are experiencing. It may be "just" POTS flaring up, but if this is not a normal POTS experience for you, your doctor may want to see you.As far as POTS--it is important, as you know, to stay hydrated, which is harder to do if you are sleeping a lot. Also, lying down for prolonged periods can exaccerbate symptoms further.Take care and let us know how you are.Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janineerrn Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hi,I called the cardio who did the test and they said it was a normal reaction after the adenosine. They said rest for a few days. I am feeling a bit better but my brain is still foggy, my balance is very off, I keep running into walls, i am falling a lot.It takes me a long time to type just one sentence. This is driving me nuts. i have a neuro appt next weekHope you are all wellJanine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I hope you feel better really soon, Janine. If this is what this test does to people, they need to stop doing them or admit you for it!!!!!!!! Take care of yourself. morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corina Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 hi janine,i'm sorry that you're feeling so bad. i've been having the walking like drunk as well. i still can't walk straight but it is a bit better. i have the idea mestinon helped with that. i have a lot of nausea as well, drinking coffee (???) helps and eating a little bit. also, when i'm without my hose (can't remember the word, i mean an elastic hose, you know what i mean?) i get very nausea as well.hope you will feel better soon,corina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
