Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think most of you know that I had to go to ER Saturday due to another Tachycardia (SVT) attack. I visited with my primary care doctor this afternoon and discussed my SVT and Orkinitis (that's what I call my pesticide poisoning). He had a chest x-ray from 2 years ago when I had my first exposure and will compare it to the one they took in ER Saturday. I am to go back early Friday morning to have a lung function test. He said it may trigger my heart and, if so, I'll have to go back to ER. Gads. Anyway if nothing else, this will give him a baseline to compare with two years from now. He actually suggested that I buy fish oil capsules and take 1,000 mg. twice a day. Isn't that fabulous? A doctor who doesn't automatically whip out the Rx pad. We just love him. So I'll continue doing what I'm doing and, I can always take the Rx for SVT later on if the attacks get much more frequent or greater in intensity. Oh, Dr. also said I do not have pulmonary edema; I have chronic bronchitis. He cannot give me anything for it due to my SVT. So I bought fish oil and will add that to my regime. I'm pretty much on my own here, but determined to get over this. My housekeeper is going to wash all the walls in this house with a natural product and I hope that helps some. We have bought a whole house air purifier, plus all the cleaning should at least help some. Amber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
