I'm Happy to Know I'm Not Alone!! Here's My Story Posted: 11-13-06 15:54pm
So a year ago I had a tia (mini stroke) I
was 32-i just turned 33. The doctors had
no idea why and even thought I had a
migrane-but the symtoms where so scary
that I knew at the time that it was no
migrane..They sort of brushed me off
believing I was too young
so on september21st of this year I awoke
to my heart-rate pounding-it was 154- I
knew something was wrong to I rushed to
the er. My blood pressure was high-for
me-it was 180/120..I usually have 103/54.
After many doctors and a realization that
this problem was never going to go
away-the cardologist believes my high
heart rate threw off a clot that
night..Finally the puzzle has been
solved...I am now getting an eps test done
in two weeks-
i can say my whole life I have had
irregular heart beats or my heart
pounding in my chest-not all the time but
once a month..Since this has happened I
have read many of all your stories and I
feel a calmness knowing I am not alone..It
seems so many of us suffer from missed
beats-fast beats-or just plain crazy
beats...Know if you do..Pick a doctor and
write your when you had a missed beat-or
if you drink a lot caffine...Don't let
them brush you off like they did to me..
I am scared but not as I was that night I
had a tia or a month and half ago...
I'm jus glad to finally find a place where
we can all write our stories!!
