It's been awhile another bump in the road!

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile.. I have been adjusting quite fine .. I went back to work feeling pretty good, until yesterday I started getting dizzy spells and sob, feeling as if I was running for my life while laying in bed! Today I went to work at all day having the same feelings. I called the doctor and as I was waiting for him to call me back .. I left work early and I went in my car to go home and wait for him to tell me what I should do.. It started again and I couldn't even drive up the block I blacked out!! Thankgod I didn't get too far. I work in a hospital so I just went straight to the er.. After tests and hooked up to the monitor everything seemed to be fine! My tech came and read my pacemaker and it showed 200 epsiodes of tachycardia! My highest 200 beats! Today I have many epsiodes show up .. So my doctor said it was time to be back on the beta blocker .. Thankgod he let me go home and I will be taking it easy until I see him Thursday! I was doing so good and it hits me like I have never heard "something else is wrong with your heart" .. But I'm grateful for my pacemaker and medication to help me continue to feel good! Hope everyone is feeling good!

I have had my pacer since 2005. At first it ruled my life. It took some time to calm down and make the mental adjustment. I had trouble sleeping and I worried a lot about pulling wires. Now I just live my life as I wish.
