I Had 'Acute Cardiac Episode' Yesterday
Yesterday I - Sharon - had routine pain killing injections into both trochanteric parts of hips and sacrum (bottom of spine, for chronic pain from how I walk after brain haemorrhage). Had ketamine and antibiotics, all was going fine. I was suddenly overcome by sudden severe crushing chest pain and breathing problems. Had to be bagged as laboured breathing, adrenaline and diazepam plus IV drugs and aspirin. Was tachycardic and got transferred to ER. Bloods and multiple ECG done then kept overnight on monitor. Doctor said results clear of heart attack but unsure about arrhythmia, etc etc. Want more tests. I insisted on coming home as can't see cardiologist until Monday and the ridiculous ward weren't giving me my essential meds. If I feel unwell I've to just go back but they were certain I'll be fine. I'm okay just exhausted and still having palpitations from high heart rate. BP 97/58!! I've to have strict rest for a few days. Scared me to death!! So here's my happy face from this morning after yet another ECG  Any other people here suffered similar symptoms? Please share as I'm interested in your stories   · |

Hey Sharon, sorry you've had to go through that, it must've been terrifying.

Oh sheesh Sharon, I'm delighted to know you're alive and kicking! Hope it was only an occasional singular stroke. Be well!

Hey Sharon, I'll be praying for your quick recovery. I am also worried to death about my hubby; as he'll be having open heart surgery in September. |
