Looking for answers.....

My dad is 69 yes old & has COPD stage 4. He had a stint put in his heart a year ago, & had a Nuclear Stress Test done this year & It turned out OK. Recently he has been having spells where he will start shaking all over & his O2 will drop to 79 80 & heart rate goes up to 150! What is causing this??? I'm really worried! Thanks for any advice!

Im so sorry your dad is going through this, no wonder you're worried MissyHoney. But I wouldn't know how to begin to answer your question - we aren't medics here and can't give diagnoses. It sounds like you aren't getting enough info from your dad's healthcare people so I'd suggest returning to his doctor or consultant with a list of questions and if you're not happy, then asking for a second opinion. Good luck.

If he is having heart rates of 150 you need to take him A&E .
