Help Hey Mary!

REad and reread your post and was amazed! You see, the same thing happened to me in the ICU -heart stopped a few times and woke up to find a young dr telling me that I my need a pacemaker..............Could not believe how quickly everything went downhill while I was in the ICU - thank God I was there! He really saved my life!

What causes your heart to stop like that? Is there anything that can be done for it?

Big hugs!
Erin

I let my overlap diagnosis go, just thankful for the mg control, now it is time to get back to the overlap, it is starting to do to much damage, It can't be ignored anymore.

Lizzie, No testing, but they have seen it happen on the monitors, usually when I just go to the bathroom, it is my nervous system, my vegus nerve goes, but it also gets my MG going, I am working on it with the reumy & neuro now. Lots of tests to go I am sure.
I know now, to just lay on the floor if I am in to much pain, becuase I will pass out !
dysautonomia, how has that effected you? I have never heard of that.
Anyone else with these problems?
