Another diagnosis plan

Been back in hospital a week now, still have erratic heart rate and off the wall BP reading. My body can't decide whether to have low or high BP!!!! And my heart rate can be good or crazy fast. My collapsing hasn't improved, so I'm now going for a brain scan to see if I have a blockage or a narrowing somewhere. Fingers crossed this is the answer I need to get my life back.

Heart and BP can be sorted with meds, and maybe pacemaker later down the road.

Utterly exhausted, and as much as I can lay down/fall down every 20 minutes I could do with a bludy good restful holiday after all this 😀 (with maybe a wine or two?!?)

So do i, but on a positive anything will be better than not knowing. I've already got no quality of life, so just being heard has been a relief. I must be the only person who is enjoying her stay in hospital. Purely because it's exactly like being stuck in at home, but with more people to talk to. My heart and BP are being monitored, and behaving well most of the time, meds are working. Just my head issue to deal with.

Bless you.. I actually enjoyed being in hospital once the crisis was over and I was on a level if only to escape the pleasures of being a single parent 24/7 365 days of the year. One is 24 the other 13. So they were more than capable looking after each other for four days.. 😁

It sounds like they are listening and I am sure your mind will ease once you know what you are dealing with..Hopefully then your quality of life should pick up. Take care.

Thank-you for the update, and I hope the brain scan shows something quick and simple to sort! Remember to update again once the scan and results are in.
