Heart complications after surgery? Only 25yo



Recommended Posts

PPS I used to work at Walmart myself. They have reasonable BP cuffs, I recommend the wrist ones, easy to read even doctors offices use them now. The symptoms you describe are cardiac , now panic and dehydration, even GERD can be mimic them but I guarantee I if you were my age (72) they would put thi,kmonitoring stuff on me before I could say Excuse ME. Let me give you a mini-tutorial. There is a cardiac syndrome fairly recently admitted to and women are more prone. Called microvascular syndrome, your smaller cardiac vessels spasm, unless they can get you at that exact moment they relax and it doesn't brow,on the easier tests. Just a strong possibility. I'm not going to relax until I know you are okay?
I am in the process of trying to get a blood pressure cuff and a heart monitor Bracelet, but I have to wait till we get paid. Even my mom and dad sounds like my blood pressure is dropping during these episodes, and that's why I took the measurement at Walmart to verify. But I need to be able to take more readings to keep track of it. The doctors office has a tendency to get measurements when nothing is happening.

((hugs and so sorry you're dealing with this)) If the cardiologist doesn't order these tests, please make sure to request them--forcefully if nec:

1. Echo with whatever contrast or full voodoo they do so well. (There is a "lesser one" and a full one. You want the full one.)

2. Perhaps an MRI if the echo is inconclusive.

3. You want a holter monitor test where you wear the holter over the weekend. The weekend! Not just overnight on a weekday. Then you want to precipitate attacks by doing whatever you are doing when it happens. If nec, go straight to the ER if you feel bad, while your symptoms are peaking. Don't wait to not go. So get ready first. Do your whatever, bring on an episode, and go to the ER. Then insist on cardiac labs being done--maybe even ask about blood gases?

Hang in there and keep pushing to get attention about this.

Thank you so much for the info and concern. I had to use a holter monitor a long time ago in the past... Can't quite remember the verdict. I really hope something comes out of this visit though. At this point all I have to do to bring on the symptoms is get up and do anything. ANYTHING. it was never this bad.

countryray2001 how are you doing? The symptoms you describe sound like classic A-Fib. It is treated by beta-blokers to reduce heart rate. Atrial fibrillation

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
