Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Well I went to the specialist yesterday. I didn't get the news I expected. I really thought it was only panic attacks, I even told him so. He was a great doctor by the way, listened to me and never judged. He said that my ekg was not normal, something is not normal in the v2 lead. (I know very little about this and when I tried looking it up yesterday I just got more confused) He said I'm to rest, not drive or be by myself alot, until these other tests are run. I go in May 2 for a halter monitor and May 3 for an echocardiogram. 6 years ago I took the drug fen-phen to help me lose weight and he really feels this is a factor in what he is seeing. (oh the stupid things we do to lose weight, and this drug actually worked for me) I didn't even have the energy yesterday morning to take to school. Bad mom that I am just let him stay home with me. He behaved for 99% of the day. He was more upset when I left for the doctors then anything. Now I'm glad I went to the game. I shouldn't have gone but I'll probably be resting for the rest of this pregnancy anyway. Thanks guys for helping me and letting me vent. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 , do rest as much as possible. Your condition sounds scary. Cant you mother do something for you since she lives in the same house or can she only argue? I will think about you next week. Good luck on your appointments. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do take care of yourself, and just rest as much as possible until the doctor gets more information. Having been told to " stay down " during a pregnancy while dealing with other kids, I know how hard that is, but do try. I am so sorry this is not something simple...more stress, more worries, more medical hoopla. Like you haven't had enough with this pregnancy already. :-( Good thoughts your way. Please keep us posted on this. Raena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 , Somehow I missed the original post on this... Havee you been tested for SVT yet?(supra ventricular tachycardia) That is what I was in the hospital with in January, if you remember, and it caused a LOT of the same symptoms as I got then, and am beginning to have again. It tends to cause a very high heart rate, that's the major symptom. Please keep us updated, and take care of yourself and the little one. I'll be keping you in my prayers, and I'll have a candle lit for you. I know how scary and stressful a heart problem can be. Feel free to email me if you want to!! banesbaby1@...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2002 Report Share Posted April 23, 2002 Oh ! Do be careful. Please keep us posted about what the doc has to say and on how you are feeling. I think that immediate stress reduction is definitely in order and your husband and mother must realize that. If your mom can't behave...she has to go. Pronto. Hugs and blessings for a healthy baby and momma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
