Re: Re: Ejection Fraction - jumping

[Guest guest]

I get alot of jumps at night when I'm either waking up or falling asleep. Duffy had a theroy about them which makes sense it has something to do with the testing and your brain remembering it anti anxity pill help some times i get spells of jumping all the timeaudi <ajweber@...> wrote:

No, no snoring at all. I was conviced he was getting little shocks, but each visit proved nothing. They do think it is something in the subconcious from maybe the testing when first implanted?...It has gotton less frequent though.

Re: Ejection Fraction

Regarding the "jumping" at night... is he snoring??? and if so, could he possibly have sleep apnea??? and if so have him checked as this can cause A-fib which can lead to CHF... look it to it if he's a snorer... the jumping may be him "jump starting" his breathing!JES > Hey Pat! My hubby takes the Coreg now since May, and has adjusted well to it and I even can see an improvement. He started out with the lowest dose, and they gradually took him up to the 25 mg. twice a day. The only thing I notice, but the doctors say "no way", is they he jumps at night, which he never did before. Not his defib either...and he does get tired early in the evening as complared to before. > ..Please visit the Zapper homepage athttp://www.ZapLife.org

I too have this jumping sensation, especially if I lay on my back too long getting to sleep - I also have sleep apnea and use a CPAP torture devi......I mean machine. I was concerned for a while, but since I didn't get zapped or die, I figured it wasn't a big deal - It's good to know I am not alone..
