Thanks Porkette
All my bloods were absolutely fine (unremarkable)they said, however about 14 days after I was discharged everything got worse and I had bad chest pain radiating and then when went arm heavy/achy didn't go away went a&e and was given GTN spray and that stopped it. but also my d dimer test for blood clots came back positive. they did lung ct and found nothing and then discharged. (ecg normal)
I am wondering if it heart related, but the ward doctor didn't do anything else whilst I was there. even though ive had heart problems in past. (angiogram normal)
2 weeks after then I had a scheduled major operation and afterwards had problems like a wave going over me feeling if I was blacking out for a min and heart races to above 120.
I am still suffering after the op with pressure feelings in head (not migraine) etc
But its a while before I see my consultants.
thanks for the help

This happened to me a few times over the yrs. then my Dr. did a cbc (complete blood count) along with checking my drug levels and they found out it was toxic and I had the same problems as you did. I then was cut back on my meds and after about 4 days I was a little better.
I know when I started taking vimpat it caused me to have a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath every now and then so I let me Dr. know and I found out it was the drug. You may want to speak with your pharmacist to find out the side effects of any of the meds you are taking.
I have also heard that heart problems can often lead into sz. and maybe you should see a heart specialist to be sure nothing is wrong. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
