having had my parathyroid glands removed on Wednesday, have been coughing g up a load of gunk and decided this morning to go to urgent care/ER as I was worried that I had a chest infection. initially dismissive, the doc. is all of a sudden keeping me in as apparently there are some abnormalities on my EKG. they haven't spelt it out but I think that they are suspecting a heart attack as they have given me a baby aspirin and GTN.
-
Wow I hope it is nothing too serious! keep us posted, and let me know if you need anything!
-
Sounds scary. I hope they figure it out soon.
-
oh Amanda, I'm really sorry this complication has decided to rear it's ugly head. I hope your docs figure it out in a hurry, and that you start felling much better soon.!
:bestwishes; Hang in there, we'll be thinking about you and waiting for good news :boxing;
-
Please keep in touch All the best
-
Waiting for an update, hope you are okay.
-
Hope every thing is going alright, they normally keep you in for 24 hours to redo the blood test if they think it was your heart. Fingers crossed.
-
They always keep you if they suspect any heart issues. Happened to me last month.
I hope it is nothing serious. :cuddle;

I am still in hospital but no longer in ICU. they determined that I did not have a heart attack, even though elevated cardiac enzymes initially supported this possibility. have been treated for a chest infection but have had some scary happenings during D. the first day I was about an hour into treatment when my pulse rate shot up to about 200 and I had a heavy feeling to my chest. they had to give me iv metoprolol to bring it down. the next day I got to the last few minutes of D and it happened again. two iv doses of metoprolol to bring it down this time. thought that the doc was a bit blasé about sending me home on metaopralol to do D at home, only to discover today that he did not realise that I was doing home HD. my home nurse was not impressed and essentially we have arranged my discharge care. my neph. wants me to do in-center for a week which doesn't make me too happy but I do agree that it is for the best.
I am black and blue from my parathyroid surgery and my Hb has fallen to 8.2 and I feel like a wrung-out dishcloth so have reluctantly agreed to a blood transfusion. never had one before but I really feel that on this occasion I do need one, particularly as I can already feel the depression monster rearing its ugly head.

Poor girl, oh this sounds awful. Take care, I hope you can get home and rest. :cuddle; :cuddle; :cuddle;

Good Lord, I hope you feel better soon. God bless you.

managed to escape from Hospital about 7.30 yesterday so managed to get a non-hospital version of Thanksgiving dinner.

Glad you've escaped, are you feeling a bit better after your real Thanksgiving dinner? Do they know something about your heart yet?
lots of love Cas
