Frustrated

Well I haven't posted on here in awhile. I am not doing very good. About a month ago, I passed out at the pulmonologists office. I refused to go to the ER because like always I knew nothing would be done. Last Sunday morning I was at work and started having severe chest pain. I went to the ER, but not before I got so confused I didn't know where I was or anything.

They said my BP was dropping really low. I had a positive tilt table test (and couldn't get a BP reading) and they placed an arterial line in me and did the test again. I passed out during it but my BP did not drop this time. Then like always I started feeling better! I got out of ICU yesterday and came home. They don't know why this is happening and exactly what is happening. I am so frustrated. I am at great risk of losing my job and it scares me that something could happen while on the job. I have an apt with a new EP on Monday. I am really nervous, because it is a lot for a new EP dr to handle.

Anyone have any suggestions at all in what could be going on? I would appreciate the input! Thanks, Danielle

I also had my pacer checked and they said that I am pacing 50% of the time. When I am not pacing I am having lots of ectopic beats.

I am also on Florinef and Midodrine the maximum dose and have adrenal insufficiency.
