EP Update

[Kaz747]

I saw my EP this week and got the results from the 24 hour heart monitor I had on after my recent collapse. He’s not sure what caused that either but felt it could have been a combination of a nerve issue and a sudden drop in blood pressure.

Anyway my monitor showed that I stayed in sinus rhythm with a small number of ectopics but nothing outside the normal range. My BP was perfect. All on all my heart is behaving which is good news.

If I have another episode the doctor will send me to see a neurologist but fingers crossed that won’t happen. I don’t need any more medical specialists in my life 😂.

All sounds good then Kaz. Are you able to get around and enjoy those wonderful views? Keep well.......

[Kaz747 in reply to Hidden]

Yes, I’m back walking- sometimes hobbling 😂

[meadfoot]

Thats good news. All these strange things which happen to us are very weird. Here hoping it doesn't happen again but at least you have a plan if it did. Heres to it being just a strange one off. Stay well.

Sounds very positive Kaz. Stay well. How's the ankle?

[Kaz747 in reply to BobD]

The ankle is pretty good thanks Bob but my right knee is still pretty sore from my fall 😂

Hi Kaz - hope it doesn’t happen again. Can happen when the Autonomic Nervous System goes out of kilter.

Great that you are out and walking again. Stay well,

[Kaz747 in reply to CDreamer]

Thanks CD. I’ve been doing a lot of walking in the pool but I did 11,000 steps on land on Saturday so that was quite an achievement. Biggest day for quite a while!

Lucky you able to get into a pool, I miss that SO much! Still shielding here so can see me getting into the water again until June/July.

[Kaz747 in reply to CDreamer]

Yes I feel for you all. We had a second short (5 day) lockdown a few weeks back but we are pretty well back to normal again. I appreciate how lucky we are here.

Glad you're ok now and your ankle recovery is progressing. I should've been in Perth this month and we might've met up again but looks like I'll just have to be patient and hopefully next year. 😎x

[Kaz747 in reply to Angie06]

Yes 2020 and 2021 have put a stop to travel in and out of Australia. Hopefully we can catch up again next year. X

Hi Kaz, if it happens again it might be worth discussing a tilt table test. That said, I sailed through mine, but bradacardia from cardio exercise meant I would pass out if disturbed whilst I was deep in concentration.

Thanks John-Boy
