Suddenly feel like crap

The first two times I have felt this I called 911 and was admitted both times. PM interogated and minor adjustments. Nothing else found wrong. But it feels to me like the PM starts fighting with my heart and my beats are all over the place...I get dizzy, lightheaded, then my B/P rises a bit...not high, but for me it much higher. I took an Ativan just in case its an anxiety attack...but it doesnt start off like one...who knows...i'm so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. I have had my PM for 3 months now and it has not been very smooth. My cardiologist finally said I need to see a EP doc...I can't wait and I hhope he can figure something out. Sitting here wondering what to do next...sheesh! Just venting I guess to help the bad feeling pass.

Note the exact time the feelings start. Then ask the EP if he sees anything on the interrogation that looks different at that time.

It doesn't help at all to say you just feel like, and then hide the problem from them by grabbing an Ativan. By the time they see you in ER the whole picture has changed.

Sorry, but what is wrong with Franks comments?
l have read them and re-read them & l can see nothing wrong at all.
Some people on this site reply to others comments in a different way. Some of us are very sympathetic,some are humourous & Frank, like many others just tells it as it is.
I hope both of you are soon feeling better but please dont disrespect people like Frank who are only trying to help by giving their honest opinion.

I have had my PM in now for 2 years. The first year was a lot of adjusting I had trouble sleeping that as new to me. low energy emotional up down like a roller coaster. I talked toa councilor and he told me my whole system was going through a lot of changes. I went from 40 beats a min. in the daytime and 27 beats at night time. Now I have 80 beats all day and night. I have SSS sick sinous syndrome. I had it for a least 4 years befor the PM came along. My first 3 months where not fun at all. Now today I feel pretty dam good. I have a PM yes and I am not like I was at 40 years old now 64 but still alive and kicking. So this thing is one day at a time and we will get there hell I did. I have a large male ego and that didnt help. So please keep coming back and let us know how you are doing. All the best

Bunched Too Tightly... What did I miss? Cannot understand why someone would take offense to that. Don't know if it applies here but sometimes a person's individual circumstances can significantly skew what they perceive.
Thanks E.Frank for all the times you have been kind enough to offer your input.
To the OP, sending mega prayers your way!!!!!!!! Hang in there!!!!

Thanks Everyone

Sorry to have started something...hope we're all better now. I didn't take anything personally. I have much thicker skin that that. Cheers to you all.
