In my earlier "New EP is thorough" post, I neglected to mention this fact: My new EP was puzzled by the placement of the third lead of my Medtronic Consulta PM. I had not given him a COMPLETE "report" of my previous months health issues: Primary doc and ENT doc gave me a dangerous mix of drugs that lowered my blood sodium number to 124 (normal: 136 to 148.) So, what happens when one has "hyponatremia?" Delirium, aggressiveness ---- you basically go insane. A psychiatrist evaluated the Rx drugs I was taking and she stated this: "I see danger here. Stop taking 4 of these, (HCTZ, Betahistine, Primidone, & Lexipro) ------ and do you have any guns in the house? - If so, GET RID OF THEM!" Her advice was too late ---- that night during an EMS ride to the ER, I was told I fought with six firemen on top of me until the "Elephant tranquilizer" was given. --- I basically remember nothing. Can PM leads be disturbed by excessive physical movements?
