Hello Everyone,

I'll try to make this short. I wasn't feeling too good the past few weeks. Just weaker and more tired than usual. Last Wednesday after dinner I started to have a pain in my back and a heaviness in my chest making it difficult to breathe. My husband took me to the ER and they started working on me right away. One of the blood tests called a dime/dyme? was elevated which can indicate a possible blockage or blood clot in the lung. I had a special ct scan, but it was inconclusive. My cardiologist felt there was a blockage and my pcp and radiologist were not sure. At any rate I was adimtted to the progressive care unit and put on enough meds for two people and given tests over the next 3 days. The only new med I was sent home with is Lopressor a beta blocker. My pulse and blood pressure were high. Probably because I was in the hospital! The cardio wanted me to stay on the ace inhibitor, but my ef is 55-60% and that's usually started when it's 40%. He wanted it as a preventitive, but my pcp didn't agree. Stopped the Plava=something, because I already take Lipitor. I still have to go as an out patient for a stress test in a month. I had so many tests that required nuclear injections that I'm maxed out so I'll have it done later. Thankfully my MG faired pretty well. They allowed me to take Mestinon when I felt I needed it and how much. I don't know how much of the weakness was do to the MG, the new meds, tests etc. My eyes started crossing the day before I was discharged and went away one day after being home. I still feel a little tired, but I think I just need to get my strenghth back. Should know more on my follow up visits.

I sure missed all of you. I hope you are doing well and feeling strong. I have a lot of posts to get caught up on. Welcome to any newbies! Take care and thanks for listening!

Big Hugs,
Pat
