Update, confusing results (KC)

[Guest guest]

I did the halter monitor for the same and they said it was fine. My allergist

wants me to see a cardiologist for what she calls attackacardia.

KC,

About 2 yrs. before seeing Dr. S I had heart palpitations, racing heart,

shortness of breath, chest tightness & it felt like cinderblocks were sitting

on my chest. I had all the tests done in the ER including a stress test.

Everything was negative for a heart attack, but the Dr. was still concerned and

sent me for a heart cath at a leading hospital in Baltimore. Scary

procedure!!!!!! ALL TESTING proved my heart to be in excellent condition!

For a year

afterwards I continued to have a rapid heartbeat & shortness of breath.At

times I felt like I could hear my heart actually beating! My family Dr. still

told me it was stress but changed my medication. Symptoms continued but not

daily. However, I didn't say anything else because they had said nothing was

wrong with my heart & I felt like an idiot. The following Fall is when I

started to experience the many, odd, neurological problems & finally found Dr.

Shoemaker. I had a little bit of a racing heart, SOB, and palpitations after

starting the CSM. I didn't have any more for a very long time until just

recently, in Jan., which was mostly SOB & racing heart off & on. Haven't had

any

since! Don't know what to say except I have experienced the same symptoms.

Hopefully it will pass like mine but I know it is a frightening experience.

Could it be a problem with some other blood levels like the C4a or C4a? Wish

I

could be of more help.

Boy this is absolutely crazy. In the ER last Thurs nite, it was

obvious that Sharon was having problems, doctor saw it, nurse saw

it, EKG showed it and they labeled it chronic arrithymas (sp).

Now the test that we had done today and they did not view the

hospital records, echocardiogram (with contast) and stress test.

Nothing unusual for except one little blip, one time sounding like a

heart murmur, the end results of the tests, nothing wrong with her

heart, perfect condition. And they were even surprised that she

smoked, the stress test she went the full 7 minutes on the tredmill,

it was very difficult for her because of the fatigue and " fibro " .

They finally got it up to the required level, 140 and within about a

minute recovered very quickly.

This does not make a bit of sense. These heart symptoms have

remained strong for one month, because she had wrote it down in her

journal and only told me a week ago. Witch....

She hasn't gone anywhere, so there was not any new exposure at least

one that has shown any symptoms. Speaking of your noticable mold

symptoms, the only other thing we can think of is that we have been

having fronts come through one after the other. Which does

aggreviate the fatigue, the fibro, the headpain, etc. But this is

the first time with this type of heart reaction. She doesn't go

anywhere to take a hit.

Today she is in pain, but no real heartpalpations. I'm confused and

I think the doctors today are too.

[Guest guest]

KC, I can only say that from my experience with heart palpations

that it sounds like something is aggervateing her, it may be

something in the air and from these fronts. I have not went to the

hospital many times that I should of because of my perinoid fellings

of germs and MCS attacks I dont need any more misdignoses, but I've

been thinking about it lately, and hopefully to get a spect scan, and

maybe some other documentation of whats going on. even if its wrong.

does she have vasculitis?,(or symptoms like it?) this can cause some

weird things going on in the viens and could be causeing heart

palpations. I know when I have them I have a very weird felling of my

blood going spastic in my viens, hard to explain, could also be

effects of fibromyalgia " like . symptoms " wait a minute, here I am

giving greedence to these " like " symptoms, dang, its all the effects

of being poisoned with mycotoxins, and I dont think these " like "

symptoms should be used with this disease, because thats just what

they are , a nother more common illness given as excuse for what we

have by unquailified doctors. the hospital in my town not a option, I

wouldn't take my dog there. hate makeing a trip far away to just get

sent home,tring to come up with plan of action , if I go, to be kept

in there and have many test done, and no drugs pushed on me. sorry KC

hope she finds the cause soon, thats scary when your heart is

palpateing.

They should have sent her home with a heart monitor on for some time

to record heatbeats. That is what they did to me years back when my

symptoms started. My heart would bet 150 beats per minute then skip

to 50 and so on. I laid off caffeine for years and seem to stop the

arrythmias. Was told also I had mitral valve prolapse then told not

so that must come and go then told a murmur. Yes, the barometer has

been insane and I watch my water spout barometer and also can feel

things and go look and sure enough it's at the top or spurting out

water.

Other mold plate at work got nasty too. Black, the green/white and

white/brown. Got more people confessing their symptoms of sinus.

Hey KC,

I was wondering if you or any of the doctors have concidered Xanax for the

heart palputations. I take it to control panic and anxiety but have been told by

numerous doctors it is eisier to subscribe this drug for the heart condition.

And I can tell you from experience it does indead control the heart in steady

even beats. Just food for thought but this is an old drug that has been around

forever and I do trust it as far as long term side effects. This might be a

temporary solution.

This is an interesting saga. Like Rhonda, I had almost identical issues and

they had me do a 24 hour holter ORDERD BEFORE we did the treadmill stress

test for timing.

Jeanine,

Let me try and explain this in more detail. I want to make this as

clear as possible for the lurkers on the board that want to think

these cases are " RARE. " A good portion of this explanation is not

directed to the people on this board who are ill, it is directed to

the people that hide in the shadows and still downplay or don't get

it yet. Anyone that follows the posts and the experiences that may

of us live with daily should know by now that there is more going on

than meets the eye with the side effects of mycotoxins/biotoxins.

This symptom that many of us are experiencing calling it rare is the

fartest from the truth.

The last month as been more than just palpations. I have heard it by

using a stethoscope, feeling her pulse, using a b/p cuff, also

several trained physicians and physical therapists all stated, " I've

never encountered anything like this. "

Blood pressure racing, going from one extreme to the next within

seconds and her not moving about. The heart would stop for about 2

seconds and then there was a rush, along with irregularities. This

could continue for about 10-15 seconds, then she would have about 10-

15 extra heartbeats instead of the normal two. Dr. had said this was

the lower chamber pumping blood up to the upper chamber. This would

happen 2-3 times within one minute. Their description, the heart was

irregular even for irregularities. Their terms, not mine. The pulse

within 3 minutes (resting position)went from 115 dropped to 65, 98

to 75. then we stopped taking it. The b/p was 160/105 upon arriving

at the hospt. discharged with 149/98. She never had any problems

with b/p before. How much of it is caused by systemic inflamation or

her lungs. Because she is still in pain. For the moment the

irregularities have stopped though. As far as vasculitis, no she

does not have it. And doesn't even come close to the symptoms except

the inflammation. Which seems to be key here.

She hasn't had a re-exposure, haven't used any chemicals, haven't

gone anywhere and is not on any medication.

We are leaning more towards Dr.Shoemakers results and the markers

that he uses for inflammation, all 6. She is high on all of them.

I hope this clarifies her symptoms, at least somewhat (grin.)

This is what we wanted also, including the ER doctor. We expected

this to happen today, but after the results, what for. There was no

reason for it in their mind. So maybe next time.grrr.

No, they did not recommend anything. She was sent home (from the ER)

with some beta blockers. She or I are not one to start popping pills

to mask the symptoms. The only time she will take medication

(normally) is when it addresses the real cause of the problem. Shoot

if she didn't tell me for 3 weeks she had chestpains how am I going

to get her to take medication. lolol She is never one to complain,

when she told me to take her to the hospt. it was like, say what,

huh... Are you serious? Because I know this is the last place she

would like to visit for the main reason, she feels that they are

useless concerning this condition.

Im with you KC, I dont think its rare at all. I think many people

are suffering the effects of toxic molds in one degree or another,

and some of these mycotoxin produceing molds are very much in our

air and all around, and if the truth was known, I bet it could be

linked to so many illnesses including anixity, depression, asthma,

allergies, sinus problems to more severe such as diabeties, canser

exc. look at how long its been known about in history, yet the drug

companys would rather test for drugs to make as fell better and

researchers are not doing very well at tring to find the cause. yet

here we are, wanting to scream, take a look at us, listen to us, we

have a very big clue here, we have lived through this. I do agree

with Dr. Shoemaker and Mr. Lipsey that stachoboctrys exposure may be

somewhat more rare to be expososed to in the home, but also fell that

it is becomeing not so rare, and cant help but think that with the

heavy amounts of it in the air coming from the south is going to help

it spread, this is like a plague, all these mold spores need, that

are flying around in the air is a little moisture to land and grow.

and as fore the peeps that are lurking in the dark, they believe what

they want to theri own peril. ant of them that want to find out

theriselfs are welcome to live in eather of my moldy homes if they

dare. I dont see any non-believers offering to be ginnypigs for

exposure tests to confirm what this does to you. so we are left with

animal trails. how many people have to be ll from this before

somebody takes notice, like our GOVERMENT, this is a national

disaster happening

here.

Can't believe they didn't put the heart monitor on b/c just b/c

didn't happen at the moment being at doc office doesn't mean nothing

is going on. Guess I got one b/c registered bradicardia and

tacacardyia on different EKG's. Maybe you can still request one when

happens again.

and KC your right about what this does inside your body and it

causes many unexplained effects. it colonizes itself and uses our

bodies to live off of. is any of us actually able to say that we've

won the battle?, can anyone say they beat this toxin and are now

tottally free of it? or is it something we will be fighting for the

rest of our lives. mold is a decomposure and its trying to decomposer

us. I dont like being dignosed with " like " illnesses, this is not

what we really have, we have been poisoned and should be treated as

such and why we do not have reasearchers and medical experts knocking

down our doors to try to get answers before this kills everyone is

beyond me. I take it as a sign,the strange and angry weather we are

haveing everywhere,that mother nature is not happy and we will pay

for

it.

your wife is right, they are , and the germs you can pick up in a

hospital could make problems worse. scary. Im like you two, Im not

one to take pills either. I think my immune system has gotton

somewhat better at fighting off germs, but while in the mold and for

a long time after getting out, if I got around anyone with a cold or

flu, I was like a magnet and always immeditly got theri

illness

KC,

The doctor put me on Valium and potassium Chloride to help with my heart

beating too fast and stopping. It sometimes feels like it is beating very

rapidly and causes me to loose my breath. The Valium does help and without the

Potassium it gets worse. When I went to the ER in Sep.26,2005 for chest pains,

they did blood work and found out I had no potassium.( did have an RX for it but

was trying to save money and stopped getting it.) Now I am back on it. ( for how

long I don't know...the church does not want to help with my Rx's anymore. Oh

well......I tried. I am not one that likes to take meds either and sometimes I

will miss a dose to save money.

if she didn't tell me for 3 weeks she had chestpains how am I going

to get her to take medication. lolol She is never one to complain,

when she told me to take her to the hospt. it was like, say what,

huh... Are you serious? Because I know this is the last place she

would like to visit for the main reason, she feels that they are

useless concerning this condition.

Barb, I can't honestly tell you if it was after a sleepless night! However,

I can tell you that the majority of my nights were sleepless!! I would be

awake most of the night, I would try tylenol PM, I would sleep at the opposite

end of the bed, sometimes on the couch and many times I would sleep on the

floor!! When I would finally fall asleep the alarm would be going off an hr. or

so later. I would say most nights I only had a couple hours,or less, of

sleep before going to work! I would be terribly tired all day and then

couldn't

sleep all night.

Too bad one can't be tested when one is symptomatic

instead of testing people weeks after the fact.

I wanted to ask though. I know you had sleepless nights for

awhile. Was the chest heaviness on days after you had a sleepless

night?

[Guest guest]

Sue, I have had similar symptoms, particularly the feeling like I

have bricks on my heart. It doesn't help me to lie down either.

I've experienced the palitations but heaviness in the heart is my

main heart symptom. I have had four heart tests. Two showed regurg

at two valves and two in between those two showed nothing at all.

I've heard this from many people, inconsistency in tests. It must

be something that comes and goes. I'm supposed to have a stress

echo tomorrow but think I will reschedule it as my heart has felt

fine lately. However three weeks ago when test was arranged I was

in bad shape. Too bad one can't be tested when one is symptomatic

instead of testing people weeks after the fact.

I can't remember ARGGGGG, but there is a cardiac website that lists

perfume as a TRIGGER for increased heartrate tht is internmittent and NOT

requiring the nessitation of drugs. As they claim its DIRECTLY related to

the chems in fragrances.

Definatly sounds like a panic/anxiety issue. When you have one of these attacks

you feel like your chest is going to cave in...
