Just a FYI I'll be MIA off and on for a bit....
Right now I'm chilling out, but I've been in an out of fibrillation since last night, so around 24 hours now. Had EMS here last night, but it wasn't bad enough then or now to warrant an ER trip. Normally these issues will resolve themselves, if it gets too erratic my ICD will shock me back into rhythm.
Plus the change up of my meds, has my blood pressure all over the place. Takes a bit for your system to adjust to new meds, smaller dosage of old meds, and the stopping of other meds.
I'm exhausted since I spent most of the night tossing and turning, trying to find a position that didn't telegraph my erratic heart beat. Been napping off and on since around 0900, between watching TV.
Talked to my Cardiologist late in the day today, they put one med back to the old dosage, and are increasing the dosage of the new med they put me on. I did a download of my ICD for them to see what is going on. My yo-yoing blood pressure, and the fact it's getting so high has caused concern for my Cardiologist team. Prior to changing my medications up, my BP was borderline low or normal, last 10 days its been borderline high and high. My pulse has been bouncing all over the place also, in the last 10 days it's been in the mid 100's, then out of the blue it dropped to 60.
They had an opening this Wednesday which I'm booked for, but said that if it gets worse get my backend to the ER.
So CINC Household is limiting my time online, making sure I relax, stay calm etc. She has basically grounded me to the MBR, taken the laptop and cell phone away so I'm forced to relax. Every so often she gives me my phone back so I can post health updates on the sites I'm a regular on.
Hopefully once I see the Cardiologist, we can get my meds adjusted and get me back to my normal. Haven't had any major cardiac issues for years, then they change my meds up and I get hit with a 2x4.
Yall stay safe, stay healthy, stay warm, keep hunting and enjoying life, I'll be back on here as soon as the ticker quits throwing a hissy fit.
