I am glad that your heart is fine. (It is just scary to feel anything around the heart area, I bet!)
Going to your neurologist is the very first step. Don't hesitate to tell him/her of all your symptoms. He will understand! He might send you for an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). The name may sound imposing but it is just that we now have fancy technology to 'see' what is happening inside of people. He may or may not send you for an MRI . I don't know! (Big surprise !  )
Take it easy this week and good luck! |
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I just got out of the hospital yesterday, went to urgent care on Tues, ended up in the ER and admitted . Because I had chest pain, they ran heart tests, EKG, heart monitor, echocardigram, stress test, then did an upper Endoscopy. Found out I had Barretts, recommended staying on my prilosec, it's healed but has some changes that need to be checked on to make sure no pre-cancerous growth show up.
Bad part is they released me with no answers for my dizziness, vision problems, head pain-pressure feelings and this brain fog as I call it. They gave me some pills for dizziness, but all it did was make me sleepy. I don't need pills to cover up my symptoms, I want answers !! Still have the tingling, numbness in my feet and legs, now traveling up to my groin. I do have an appt on Monday with a neuro doc, hope she will run some tests to try and figure out what is going on with me, first neuro I saw never figured it out, sent me home with no answers.
They have me on a bi-pap machine now, been about a month, have had some problems adapting to get a mask that fit and I could tolerate, fun, fun.
The pressure is pretty high, guess I am not used to breathing so deep and as often. I don't get rid of my pCO2 with normal breathing.
Anyone have any of these problems or suggestions??
Thanks,
Debb
