.....Carolann.

There are many drugs that it is recommended be started while the patient is in the hospital - especially if they have a weak heart. Those drugs can have bad side effects & they want to be able to monitor you closely. Probably the drug that they want to start you on requires continuous monitoring on an ECG machine. They cannot do that while you are away from the hospital.

One advantage to having yu in the hospital is that they can see side effects before they have a chance to really harm you.

Please tell us the name of it after you find out. If you can tolerate the new drug, it may well help you a lot.

I hope that is the case.

Don

wishing you well

hi carolann
I am new to this site but I think you are talking about a drug in the multag family. I took this for a while but it did not help me. there is another in this family (amiadarone??? - something like that) that requires administration in a hospital setting. I did not try that one. hope it works out.

thanks comes from my heart to you

Well thanks everyone, I just got e-mail from my heart Doctor, he is going to put what is called heart pump medication, just above where my device is at. He told me to relax I told him I will, and since I was here last my son is also having problems he had surgery on his right ankle, he broke in many places, after he had the surgery he was told to stay off his foot, guess what he didn't, and bent the screw in his foot, if it breaks he will lose his foot, So if it would be ok keep him in your prayers too.

again thanks everyone love you all, I am a fighter am not going to just give in or give up, The Lord is putting me through a pretty good test this time. Love to you all again.

Love Carolann Adair

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.
