Nicky I will definitly run that by both my pcp, cardio & neuro when I see them. Very good info, thank you.

Thanks Sue! Yeah, the funny thing is back in early May I think, my cardio did a combination echo, stress (no injection) echo. He said my heart was fine. He wanted the new stress with contrast done in the hospital, but I was maxed out on the nuclear from other tests they did. So I'll have it in a month. I'm hoping it will shed some new light everything. I'll keep you all posted. Take care.

Hi Pat
I'm a newbie and I don't think I've posted to you before. I'm glad that you are doing better. You definitely did the right thing by going to the ER. Especially with your family history.

Thanks and look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Jujuan,

Welcome to the group! Thank you for your encouraging words. I agree I did the right thing, but I didn't expect to be there for 4 days and countless tests! lol All went well and I must say the Dr.'s and nurses were wonderful which made all the difference. I hope you are feeling well and I look forward to getting to know you better too! Take care.

Hugs,
Pat

I am glad you are feeling better. Take care.

Hi Pat: Wow, that is so scary! I can relate to what you've been through. I was in the hospital for a week with a similar situation a few years ago. They thought I was having a heart attack. Plus, I have the same kind of family history as you. They did a cardiac catherization and a lot of tests, but never found anything. I've since thought it was all related to the MG. This was before I was diagnosed. I don't take statins, but do take meds for blood pressure.

Please take care of yourself! With this kind of stuff, it's very important to get right to the hospital or your doctor and not take a "wait and see" approach. I hope you feel better soon.

Take care,

Thank you Susan, I think I'm well on my way! Take care.

Hugs,
Pat

Thank you Sharman, It was scary at times. They were considering doing a cardiac cath., but deicided on the stress test with contrast. That's the one I have to wait a month on due to all the nuclear tests I had. I have to talk to my doctors about the statin I've been taking for 7 years. I'll have to look it up so I have something to bring in with me. Gez, my neuro knew I was taking it, you'd think he would know. Glad Nicky brought it to my attention. Well, I'm feeling a little better today. I think the tons of drugs they had me on are probably out of my system by now. You know the funny part is, I stopped smoking over 8 weeks ago and haven't felt right since! I'm sure it had nothing to do with what happened, but when am I suppose to start feeling better? lol One thing the cardio said, my lungs look incredibly healthy and asked if I only smoked a short time and only a little or didn't inhale? Told him I smoked for 37 years, 2 packs a day and inhaled everyone. He said I have no signs of any inflamation or emphazema...so that's great news! Well, I didn't mean to ramble on. It' just feels good to be feeling a little better...no double vision the last few days. So far so good on the lowpresser betablocker I'm taking...I was concerened I would have a reaction to it, like I do so many other drugs. How are you feeling? Take care and I hope you have a nice day.

Hugs,
Pat

Pat! Congratulations on quitting smoking! That's fantastic!
