Guest guest Posted December 22, 1999 Report Share Posted December 22, 1999 Well, I spoke too soon about Fallon doing so well.... A few wks ago she noticed a " strange " sensation that her heart was doing, since then she has been very TIRED and sleeping as much as she can. (up to 16 hours at a time...) She noticed it again the other day and said it feels like butterflies in her chest and throat....she now has in addition to tachycardia, an irregular heart rate. She sees the cardiologist tomorrow and will probably come home on a 48 hour monitor, or one she will use for a longer period of time that she will transmit via the phone. The doctor said that IF she is having irregular heart rate enough, it will tire you out...Her tachycardia is completely under control w/the Lopressor. This is all related to the vagus nerve I am sure... For those of you who have this irregular heart beat what do you take? She is already taking a beta blocker. Oh, and now after being tired from all of this for the last few weeks, we found out yesterday that she has walking pneumonia...If she is not better after the zithromax pack, off she goes for a chest xray.. It could be worse, last year at this time she was recovering from her 7th surgery...I just wish Christmas could be a tad bit " healthier " for her this year.
