Feeling Rough

[heartmatters1]

Suffering with a kidney infection, which has set heart off all over the place. Doc said this happens when unwell. Heart had been behaving itself for a few months too. Oh well keep taking the tablets! Feeling sorry for myself 😫

Sadly that IS what happens. When there is infection or when our body is out of rhythm, our hearts get out of rhythm. Once the infection clears, hopefully your heart will be back to normal. Meanwhile get some rest and drink plenty of fluids.

Get well soon! I hope it's not as painful as kidney stones were when I had them!

Thanks. Painful but definitely not as much as kidney stones - my husband had them last year & developed sepsis. He was in agony.

The conclusion appeared to be that that particular amniotic did not cise and increase in arrhythmia In General???

Another recent report on that family of antibiotics was an increased danger of aortic aneurysms bursting during or soon after treatment.

Scary stuff 😱- what’s the alternative?

[seasider18 in reply to heartmatters1]

As Maggie Thatcher said 'TINA' There is no alternative

[heartmatters1 in reply to seasider18]

Interesting - seems we’re damned if you do & damned if you don’t take them though!

I agree, I have had a flu like virus this past two weeks, feel dreadful and my heart has been playing up from the start of it. Heart pauses and ectopics adding to me feeling generally awful. I hope you feel better soon and things settle heart wise thereafter.
