Well folks heres a warning... Just when you think you're getting back to normal you may not be.
I just spent almost a week in CCU because of steam cleaning. I have been working my butt off at work in a new position and thought my health was pretty much back to normal except I'm a bit out of shape. I decided one Sunday that I would steam clean the carpet which is something that I normally do every few months as I have 2 kids under 4. Well Sunday evening rolled around and my pulse was high... real high. It was so fast I couldnt even keep up with it to count it (and I was a patient tech at a hospital for years). I went to the ER after trying to ignore it for a couple hours and they got a reading of over 190. They rushed me back and a team of people came in to work on me which freaked me out because I had walked into the ER just fine and didnt think it was quite that bad. The ER Doc gave me an IV med and told me I was going to blackout. Actually what he was doing was stopping my heart and restarting it to bring down my pulse and try to regain a normal synus rythym. I was in Atril fib and they couldnt pull me out of it for a few days.
So just a warning... when they say dont over-do it THEY MEAN IT!
