Hi everyone! Was searching on the
internet about heart topics because I had
an ekg come back abnormal and indicates qt
prolongation. The dr told me this is too
long a period between beats at times and
thus not enough oxygen.
Have had a problem with my left leg on
and off for a couple of years now.
Kind of a mystery what it is, just
basically decided after having ultrasounds
looking for blood clots and not any
found....That maybe it is arthiritis or
something like that.
No big deal, just feels heavy at times and
kind of tingly and numb at others and most
often, like a cramp that just stays for
awhile.
Also have been so tired and seems like I
am getting weaker everyday. The ole grey
mare she ain't what she used to be.....
I am normally full of energy and go, go,
go....But here lately it is all I can do
to just do the basics.
Can see how a person could be diagnosed
depressed, feeling like this, but that's
not what it is.
I just want to feel "normal" and can't
seem to get there. Occasionally I will
have a good day and feel energy and I
don't know why, try to figure out what I
did different and can't put my finger on
it. Maybe chocolate!!!! Think I need an
almond joy, just in case :+)
have a ringing in my ear that is pretty
much always there, for about 4 months now.
Just wish it would change tones every
once in awhile, get tired of the same
one.
Annoying, but after awhile, kind of get
used to it.
The last few weeks I have had trouble
getting enough oxygen it seems, and my
chest feels like it is full of pressure.
I went into the dr and had an ekg done,
got the results back and my dr told me
that it shows abnormal as I mentioned
above...With the qt prolongation, so now I
have to wait to see a cardiologist.
My dr did mention that it may be that I am
low on potassium, they did a blood test
for that today too. Wow!! I didn't know
that could affect your heart and show up
on an ekg.
So I guess that would be easy to correct
if that is the case.
Asprin makes me feel better, take one at
night.
Was wondering if baby asprin might be
better to take?
Forgot to ask the dr, just trying to
figure out what I can do for right now.
Today I just feel like kind of a burning
feeling in my chest and tightness. But
you know, it can also be anxiety maybe, so
how is a person to know the difference?!
I am so weak, but when I lie down, it is
more pressure in my chest and harder to
breath.
Does anyone know why that might be?
While ago I was feeling a stabbing pain,
right shoulder area but on the left lower
side of my right shoulder.
Man oh man, is that confusing or what??
I had to read it twice too.
I get that feeling sometimes and I just
attribute alot of this to getting older.
But i'm only 42, i'm much too young to
feel this darn old!!!
To think I made fun of my grandma for
always talking about her aches and pains
and she was in her 80's.
Here I am on a message board, doing it at
42.
Sorry grandma!!!! I know you always said,
"what goes around, comes around."
no wonder she chased me around the house
with that old wire fly swatter.
Let me know if ya'll have any thoughts on
what could be going on with me.
I won't hold you to it and hey, all I have
to do is sit here and wait and wonder till
I can get into see the cardiologist.
Going to sign off the puter now and call
them and set up an appointment.
Tried while ago and a recorder told me
they have a 2 hour lunch break, to call
back.
Glad I wasn't having a coronary and needed
in right away.
Thanks in advance, hope all of you are
doing well.
