Re: update from Sandie

[Guest guest]

Dear Sandie,

I am sorry to hear of your continued heart events, worried about you in Ann

Arbor.

However, it sounds like you have a good thorough family doctor advising you with

follow

up with a honking big sounding monitor! LOL!!! Be good now, do what the doctor

says

and stay healthy!

> As most of y'all know I was in the hospital a couple days last week. Well,

the doctors

and staff there did all sorts of tests, blood work, Xrays, monitored my heart.

As they

released me they told me it seems what I had experienced was anxiety. I was put

on a low

dose Beta-blocker (Propanolol) and sent on my way to Ann Arbor.

> I was to follow-up with my family physician whom I have seen for over 26

years. I had

an appointment yesterday, Thursday, and lo and behold, I had been having yet

another of

the several epidodes, if you will, all day yesterday, continuing while at the

dr. office. My

blood pressure was taken once by the nurse, 2 more times by the doctor during my

visit.

It was high for me. It was also high most of the time while in the hospital. He

listened to

my heart, lungs, and took my pulse. My doctor doesn't think what I am

experiencing is

anxiety at all but more hypertension and tachycardia. I am to buy a blood

pressure cup

and monitor my own blood pressure over the next few weeks, calling if I feel

imminent

need. I go on Monday to the Iowa Heart Center to get hooked up to the King of

Hearts

Events Monitor for the next 30 days. I am to make an appt. with my dr. 10 days

from now

for more follow-up.

> Really, no worries here. Just wanted to send an update to all who knew of my

hospital

stay and kept me (us) in your thoughts and prayers.
