Hi all.
I know I have been absent from the site for a while. New grandbaby, job , etc. I need to get some support and info.
Since my heart surgery in Aug. '05 I have had 3 episodes of syncope(passing out briefly) The first was 10 days after surgery and diagnosed as dehydration. I was in the hospital overnight and given fluids. Second was a week after cataract surgery. Lots of tests-no answers. I have an implanted cardiac loop recorder as a result of that incident.
This Sun. we had gone out to breakfast, I stood to change seats in the waiting area so another woman could sit. I sat down, felt funny and passed out. 911 to the local hospital. I was on a monitor, worked up and in progressive cardiac unit overnight into yesterday afternoon. Was seen by several docs including a good cardiologist (not mine). Decision was that it was not heart related. I see the cardiac electrophysiologist in 2wks and he can retrieve data from this event.
It has shaken my confidence. I was doing so well and hadn't passed out for over 14 months. Thought this was in my past.
Just need to hear from some of my buddies on this site.
Thanks , Joanne
