SVT

Supraventricular Tachycardia....basically "racing heart"!!!
One of the most scary things happened to me last Thursday. I could not breathe...I could not get enough air and my heart started working really hard for me and it just went bonkers. The (Baywood ER) actually had to stop my heart and restart it to get it back into a normal beat. Damage to the heart...they don't think so...could it happen again...yep. What caused it...don't know yet. Scared...oh yeah.

I am okay....just weak and lots of thoughts bouncing around in my head.

KUDOS to Baywood...the best (considering the circumstances) care anyone could get. The ER group and the Rapid Unit (can't remember the correct name but kind of like the intensive care unit for chest pains, etc.) staff were beyond wonderful. Patient care/service definitely the norm there. The nurses, Linda, Maureen and Jeff were wonderful. All the techs, transporters, blooddraws, etc....wonderful.

So now what? I'm not sure. I am very weak and get pooped real easily and hopefully I just need to get my strength back. I have to now go to a cardiologist now and am on heart medicine to keep the beat normal. Hopefully we will find something to fix and that will be that (wishful thinking..huh!).

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers...they worked!!!!
