hey guys,
quick update, I was in the ER again last night in SVT at a rate in the 150s, luckily I got it on a strip this time, and I converted out within a few minutes of it starting, after I converted out the nurse told me that I had NO color when I walked in, apparrently I didnt look very good. after I converted out I went through about 10-15 mins of frequent PVCs, and a few runs of ventricular bigeminy.
The doc that saw me is the same doc that saw me last Thursday. He said that this is definitely SVT, and called my cardio (talked to on call pedi cardio cause mine was off) their office is going to call me on tuesday, and it looks like we are going to end up moving on this pretty quick. I am glad, because its hard not to think "when's the next one gonna happen?" but on the other hand, I guess I am kinda in denial, the major thought on my mind is "how the heck am I gonna fit this into my schedule" LOL I just dont want to be in a patient's room and have this happen, or have to keep leaving work early, I feel like I'm screwing ppl over.
mom isnt dealing well, she's trying to be mommy, and is getting a little too pushy about it, she thinks I am making more of this than it really is, and doesnt see that this is that big a deal, she's worried about me making the wrong choice and ending up with negative consequences as a result. I get that she's in denial, and that she's used to making these decisions for me, but she goes out and runs 6-8 miles a day, has never had an issue with her heart, she doesnt understand how much of an impact this is making. She also seems to forget that I am an adult, and I think I can make these decisions for myself, especially considering the field I am in.
Dad is another story, he had a couple spells like this when he was in his 40s, his doc told him to stop drinking coffee, did some testing, found nothing, and convinced him that it was a virus in his heart, and they stopped within a couple weeks. he's comparing his situation to mine, He's as healthy as a horse, and doesnt get that that's not even a comparison.
I have a few ppl around me though, and school, and my bosses are being great about it, hopefully we'll figure this out, and get on the right track.
I'll update more when I know more though, and thanks if you've gotten this far
