..or at best get drugs for irregular heart palpitations, fast heart rate, low blood flow and SOB.

I started going downhill about 5-7 days ago. There's a possibility that my 'spirit' was trying to push my mind and body to unattainable limits.

I really can not ascertain this as I cannot recall events more then a day or three past.

Had an Echo, EKG, x-ray and blood draw on Friday (they were contemplating on hospitalizing me though decided they'd check the test results and decide on Tuesday though informed me that at the very least I?d need to start taking other medications).

Hope everyone is doing better

Marco-

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having difficulties. But hang tough because maybe there are medicines which can help get over this bump. It would be good to go into the hospital where they can start you on the different meds in a controlled environment, and get you on Heparin if you need any testing.

Wishing you good luck, and I hope to hear soon that everything turned out AOK.

Hi Marco!
I'm so sorry to hear that things are not going as well as they were in the beginning. Believe me, we have all had to go through those little bumps in the road. Things will improve. I agree that it would be a good idea to be in the hospital where they can keep an eye on you while finding the correct meds for you, but that is your docs decision. Just make sure you let your doctor know everything you are feeling while they are trying to get your meds straight. God has been with you every step of the way, he will certainly continue to watch over you. He doesn't always make things easy, but I don't think he intended life to be easy. Hang in there!

Take Care!
Gail

Marco,
Recovery from this surgery is definitely not a straight journey uphill. There are many ups and downs along the way, even long after surgery. Sometimes help is needed to get over some of the downhill parts. Hang in there!

...Doubled the Zestril from 5mg to 10mg and added 125mg tablets of Digitek.

Having problems with a cold.

I wish I'd taken the flu shot a couple months ago.

Take care & God Bless
