dizziness

I asked a couple weeks ago about dizzy spells but a couple days ago everything started going haywire, with dizzy spells that is. I am at 6 weeks of having a Medtronic A2DR01 inserted and as of a couple days ago I have a hard time walking around because everything is spinning in my head and eyes. I do have an appt. to see the Card. next week but thought I would ask if anyone has gone through this after having a PM installed. Hell, I'm not even sure it's caused from the PM. I spent a good week when our daughter and her family came to visit and on the last day they were here I could hardly stand up for very long. Just looking around I get dizzy. I am going to call my Med. Dr. as well today.

I was at about six weeks when I had similar problems. At ten weeks I picked myself up off of the floor--I had no clue that I had crashed to the floor. I went by ambulance to the Emergency Room, and was re-opened and had a loose lead wire "re-connected/re-adjusted." Lead-wires come loose. Have somebody take you to the Emergency Room now--don't wait for your appointment. If a particular movement makes you dizzy or go into black-out, don't let anybody make you do that movement--e.g., I was blacking out when I moved my head back.

Get checked-out

You should get checked-out ASAP. Dizzy spells to the extent you are having them are not normal. It is likely a minor problem, but you should get checked ASAP. The last thing you want is to pass-out and get hurt worse. If you can't get in to see the doc right away, go to the ER.

The experience of having a couple of lengths of wire fed into your heart muscle and an electronic 'box' tucked under the skin is not an insignificant event, but you will survive.
