from joyce------ncc--some concerns

January 8, 2008

hi this joyce,

i had a follow up with my cardilogist this morning. my blood pressure is

ususally on the lower side, like 100 or even less like 90 something over aprox

50-60 once it was 88/48 it has also been often, 110 or 120 over 70 which is

normal and even high for me. at my visit today it was 140/80 and that is very

high for me quite high.

all morning i am feeling racy and anixous, for no real reason and i know it is

physical not mental. i have this feeling every so often. this isnt new ive

experienced it for yrs.

i have plumonary hypertension which i was just tested again and it was up a

little again, so my conditon of haveing wolf parkinson white isnt why my lung

pressure is high, because i had a cardiac ablation three months ago to fix the

wpw and i wrote a post recently mentioning my heart is feeling better, which it

is regarding the beating problem. only thing is the mornign after the ablation i

began to have visual aruora and so far stil am.

my cardilogist told me i could be having mini strokes and that is reason to

see the neurologist.

it is taking so long to get a referral, not clear yet as to why.

i am thinking nothing can be done if someone is haveing strokes, unless it is

serious to go to the hospital for imediate care nothing but wait and see?

does this make sence to anyone who is familiar with how a stroke takes place?

i am feeling sorta like my drs including dr who did my ablation are leaving me,

today i feel scared if i keep having the visual disturbances since he told me

this.

a friend i know who is a phyicologist and is i her 70s, still works, woke up

one day about a month ago with her eye discolored and part of her face around

it.

he dr told her it is high blood pressure. the next morning she woke up

vomiting and couldnt even keep tiny bit of water down. it was found she had a

brain bleed and her dr told her she is lucky to be alive.

her regular pcp is treating her and she hasnt been sent to a neurologist, this

makes me think for sure they wont send me if stroke is happining, nothing is

done but wait and see like they are in her case.

thanks for listining to my concens,

joyce
