Heart Trauma Recovery

Since the second H/A my normal is in the 140's for the first number. I try and relax on the couch for 30 minutes before taking it, if I take it after walking to the kitchen or other room it will be over 160 ish !
 
Five months after my heart attack, my BP fell critically low. 67/43 was the lowest I logged. I went to the ER and I was dehydrated. After a couple of bags and a follow up with my PCP got blood work and then an appointment with a kidney guy and then I was dusted off and sent on my way. Nobody had a clue why I was so dehydrated.

The preventative measures I've taken since is to drink lots of beers. 🤣
 
I see 4 different doctors now, and the tech in each office know that I have to rest before taking my BP, or it will sound an alarm for the ER because it will be so high.

Right before the second H/A it was close to 195 ! ! ! ! Wanna see them scramble in the ER ? Yah, I got to go straight to an exam room that day !
 
Herre yah goes OB.

Had some issues a week ago and took an ambulance ride to the big Heart Center in Houston, where I took a 5 day vacation at club HCA.

Came home with a pacemaker !

Small incision is where they removed the loop recorder big one is why my chest feels like a horse kicked me !

I am glad to see you got the care you needed; perhaps too much ozone lately? ;)
Seriously, I hope the pacemaker does exactly what it's supposed to do and that happens to be exactly what you need!
...and that you can avoid those kinds of forced vacations, too! :)
 
The loop recorder was making reports of my heart going from Afib to Brady, with the brady condition it was beating in the 30's, normal heart rate is in the 60's per minute.

I already feel better, still on a two week "don't do nothing" order but this week will be more of getting back into my routine than just laying around.

Sometimes rootabaga yah jus gotta take your vacations where yah find them .... Club HCA was great for service, 'cept the every hour wake up for tech support (vitals, breathing treatment, etc) starting @ 3 am every morning was not so fun !

🤣
