I'm new here, 50 yr old female

[Guest guest]

I have MVP, but my fast heart beat hasn't been caught on a monitor.

I feel like I'm having mini strokes or mini heart attacks at home a lot. I have

had some tests by the cardiologist. I started having these like seizures when

I'm asleep and kind of woke up during them a few times. I also have diabetis,

but only diet and exercise controlled. I had seizures as a child, but these are

different. Sometimes I think I have sleep apnea because I snore like the

dickens, wake up with my heart racing, and a couple times couldn't breath.

I get soooo thirsty, I've drank gallons in a day many times. I start washing my

electrolytes out. The drinking fluids also slows my heart down. Now I'm on

Ativan for the MVCs and anxiety. I'm also on Atenolol

because when I have this racing heart or pain in my left arm, I get high blood

pressure. My kidneys sometimes hurt and pain in my limbs, head, neck, esp. left

arm and left leg. The MPVs get so bad, I have chest pain and can't even lay

down. The VA Hosp just doesn't do enough.

Any ideas?
