Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Good afternoon everyone...Here's the latest news about Mike. I went back to the hospital in time to see and talk to the cardiologist. The enzyme numbers are still a bit high but he does not think it was a heart attack! However, what they have determined is that the symptoms are classic for a form of tachycardia...superventricular tachycardia...the heart beats very fast due to electrical problems in the heart above the ventrical area. So not the lower part of the heart but the upper part. The medication they gave him stopped the rapid heart rate and the upper chest pain disappeared. He's staying over again tonight because they are still monitoring the enzymes with more blood work ( every 8 hours) and they want to get him to the electro-physiologist..he specializes in the electrical problems in the heart. Interestingly...Mike is an electrical engineer...so he'll be able to understand the terminology Electricity is electricity.. in the.body or wires in a house! In fact, Mike has always said that plumbers could be gastroenterologists...just plumbing Carpenters could be orthopedists.. just structures! and electricians could neurologists ...just wiring. Anyway, I'm sort of relieved but still worried...I did not sleep at all and have not tried to nap. Usually the Prednisone stops that whole idea. Thanks for all the concern. I'm very grateful for all of you. -- Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z 64, fibriotic NSIP/o5/PA And “mild” PH/10/07 and Reynaud’s too!! No, NSIP was not self-inflicted…I never smoked!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Glad to hear the good news. I know the worry remains until you get him home but sounds like that will be soon and he'll be back on the right voltage. > > Good afternoon everyone...Here's the latest news about Mike. > I went back to the hospital in time to see and talk to the cardiologist. > The enzyme numbers are still a bit high but he does not think it was a > heart attack! > However, what they have determined is that the symptoms are classic for > a form > of tachycardia...superventricular tachycardia...the heart beats very > fast due to electrical problems > in the heart above the ventrical area.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 , Good news about Mike. I am originally a clinical chemist, so what would I be good for? Or better yet, a chef could be a chemist. After all, compounds are just compounds. Right? Tom > > Z fibriotic NSIP/05 Z... good news about Mike!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Tom, Actually, your interest in chemistry could be seen in cooking, but especially baking! Yep, compounds are compounds! Thanks again for the well wishes. I'm watching the Phillies beating up on the Dodgers and then I'm calling it a night! Go PHILLIES!

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 , I am worried for Mike....and for you. I pray that the docs have made a good evaluation and thier treatment will keep him pain free. It is so scarey when that stuff happens and it is always in the middle of the night!
