Bummer
But, I guess the good news is that she made it back home & will be getting some answers soon - and, hopefully, a fix for whatever's wrong. I'll continue to keep you all in my prayers.
Blessings,
Cris
Thank heaven for fixable problems!

I have WPW. I have had 4 abaltion attempts and the fourth was successful. I have also the mitral and aortic mechanical valves. In October I had a Medtronic InSync CRT implanted which paces my ventricles 100% of the time and the atrium at 12%. History of low potassium which will not rise past 3.3 taking 8- 20meq talets per day. Planning on changing that tomorrow since it is so tough to swallow that many and havoc on my ulcers. I was also diagnosed with a Mahaims Fiber which was destroyed with radio frequency during the last abaltion. I do hope she is feeling better. I certainly understand how she felt during the episode she had. I tried the entire spectrum of meds for the afibs and tachys and did get much relief from a couple of them for a short time. I wonder if they will do an EP study at this time for the WPW. I am so glad to have the pacemaker--Ruby (pacemaker) captured 567 episodes just last month for me. Bless her.

Thankyou, my daughter needs to talk to you.. she is terrified...
No problem

I would be glad to talk to her. The symptoms you described when she was not feeling well sounded all to familiar. How is she doing now after some mega potassium. Not many WPW's on this site. let me know if you or she needs anything.

Yaps, thank God it wasn't the worst but low-levels of potassium aren't benign either. I hope she thinks about what may have triggered the episode, if anything ... I was told to stay away from bananas, tomatoes and too much coffee. I also have regular K checks.
I can imagine how she feels with the little one. Tell her to focus on loving him, that always soothes my fears.
Love,

I am glad your Kathy got the appointment so she can quickly find out if something needs to be addressed. Good for you to mom. With the WPW they should do an EKG also, unless she had one done yesterday. Two really easy, painless tests to ease ones mind.

My name is nicole and I'm 29, I havent been posting lately because my computer crashed but I also suffered with those episodes. In 200 I was in an accident it started arrythmyia and I promise I was to the hospital weekly for cardioversion by paddeles and adensine, none of which controlled it, I saw numerous doctors tried al sorts of meds and finally by the grace of God after my fourth ablation, they completly ablated my entire nodes and now I,m 100% paced all the time and that made a difference. Although I suffered some more sickness I found some wonderful doctors at the Mayo clinic and last year I had OHS where they fixed my valve, did a radical percardectomy, and switch out my pacemaker wires and put a patch on my asending aorta, and after a hard recovery I am doing wonderful.
Before when I had my spells with the fast heartrate I would have extreme chest pains under my left arpit and sometimes down my arm, I also passed out all the time that is why Working, during my episodes of the fast hearts 220 and up my potasium always stayed low and even now I have to stay on potassium pills. I hope everything is going better for you or your daughter and if she ever wants to talk, I ve been through quite alot, keep in prayer. stay positive and try to find a doctor who is willing to go the distance and get you feeling better, I had a problem finding a doctor to follow through but finally I did. God Bless and I will keep you in my prayers

Kathy are you on coumadin for the afibs? The symptoms you described were just like the ones I had at my desk vat work. I had a terrible headache for 2 weeks. When the numbness started I went to the hospital and they scanned me after I told them how much my head hurt. I had had a brain hemorraghe and a stroke. Had to stay in the hospital for a week then off work for 6 weeks until it absorbed back into my system. Hope all comes back well with your echo.
