Another update

Hi all, of course I have another question. I have been posting my updates on here and right now currently I am hooked up to an event monitor that send all my data using cell phone towers so I won't have to send in the monitor then wait til they get the dada which is nice and I see my dr again on thursday. The only thing I have new to add is friday evening when I was at work I had an episode while I was sitting down at the desk..all of a sudden my heart started pounding, got dizzy, and starting seeing double (first time that has ever happened). I started to swet head to toe my shirt was soaked front to back. Of course other nurses started panicking, I didn't pass out but came close to it. When they check my bp it was 148/98. I felt horrible! After about an hour and a half they rechecked my bp which came down to 110/70. It took me about 24hrs to recover. I didn't call the dr today cause I know whatever happened at least it was caught on the monitor which we will talk on thursday, does anyone have any idea what might of happened or do you think it was a good ole episode of accelerated junctiona?

Hi Daisy!

Could have been something like a panic attack... You're stressed because of these rhythm issues, you are not at all happy with what the doctor suggested - probably even a little mad because he made you get the pacer upgrade, but then didn't do the ablation -, you want a solution. Overall, you are not doing good, neither physically, nor psychologically. Our body can play all kinds of tricks on us. Does not mean that I don't take you or your complaints serious, but it's not impossible that your health problems are now leading to things like panic attacks - and those just happen, there sometimes is no particular trigger.

I have never had anything like what you described when in junctional rhythm.
