You guys/women are some awesome friends!!!!
Thank you for being here for me...It truly means alot!!
I went to Dr.s...had an EKG...which the results were not good at all, so needless to say, I was sent to E.R...had more testing there...
So far as of todays date, 3/18/2009 I was diagnosed with having SupraVentricular Tachycardia and very severe anxiety...
Ventricular Tachycardia is nothing to play with, here is the what it means below..
Tachycardias are divided into two categories: supraventricular and ventricular.
Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs)
These rapid heartbeats originate in the heart's upper chambers (the atria) and interfere with the efficient flow of blood into the ventricles. The most common SVTs are:
•Atrial fibrillation
•Atrial flutter
•Atrioventricular (AV) nodal reentrant tachycardia
•Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (trioventricular reentrant tachycardia)
•Sinus tachycardia
•Junctional tachycardia
Ventricular tachycardias
These fast heart rhythms begin in the heart's lower chambers (the ventricles). A ventricular tachycardia is usually a medical emergency. Although some ventricular tachycardias can effectively pump blood and maintain blood pressure, serious cases lead to ventricular fibrillation, a quivering of the heart that leads to cardiac arrest (heart attack) and death if not treated immediately.
These abnormalities often occur in people with structural heart problems, such as:
•A scar from a previous heart attack
•Rare inherited heart defects
•Other causes...Severe Stress/Anxiety...
They also found a few more things that I will be tested for which has to do with my Adreanal Glands and Neuarological problems which deal with my central nervous system, which somehow, the two above diagnosis is related to the heart!!
For some reason, every time my heart beats, I release the hormone from the adreanal gland and that alone makes my heart race...My heart rate yesterday was 150 a minute, and if they could not get it down I was going to have to stay in the hospital ICU, but with a mixture of meds in my IV, and me begging to come home, It slowed down to 110 and they let me come home, thank god the meds worked somewhat!!!!
I go in this week & next week for a few more tests...so hopefully here soon, they will figure out or determine what's wrong with me!! Stress plays a big role in all of these diagnosis as well...but, since I have a family history of heart diseases, I'm a main canidate at this point..! I still need you to pray and keep me in your thoughts & prayers as I know you all do...and that alone makes me feel so much better..!
I Thank You All from the bottom of my heart for being so caring and concerned...
You, My FuFriends mean the world to me and I Thank you all..!!!!
I will keep updating my blog as I find out more!!
Love You All..
