I died 2 times July 29th they had to shock me with the paddles do CPR and Hook up a non breather mask also the hooked me up to a automatic CPR machine my psych meds made my QTC prolonged to 630 I went into a fatal rhythm called torsodes de pointes I’m still having lots of trouble to this day my blood pressure was 207/100 the other day and this morning at 3am it was 202/84 I did go to the er the other day when it happened the gave me medication through my IV to lower it and heart rate. I was on 3 blood pressure pills now I’m on 4 different kinds I take over 20 pills everyday. I’m only 27 I did not got to the er this morning I was feeling super dizzy to I should have but I don’t want to. I’m tired of this stuff. I’m on 1,600 mg of magnesium because of my history with the heart. I’m also having a stabbing pain in the center of my chest it hurts so bad but I just think I’ll go to sleep because I don’t want to call ems

Wow, it sounds like you’ve really been through a lot! For blood pressure I found this book (written by a doctor) extremely helpful in addition to medication amzn.eu/d/gwntIpn

I also was originally put on Bisoprolol which gave me anxiety and destroyed my sleep which put my blood pressure up! I’m on Nevibolol now and sleeping much better as sleep is important for lowering blood pressure.

Finally for something to calm my nervous system down I have had some cranial osteopathy. It’s a bit out there and maybe it’s a placebo but boy has it worked for me.

Good luck on your journey.

Waylon, don't give up, it may take a while to get you sorted but don't give up, if your feeling ill you get yourself down to the Cardio ward asap, Sometimes these conditions just take a while to sort, my friend Walter is on 17 tablets a day, he had a quad bypass , like you his bloods were all over the place, but he persevered, and was at the doctors an awful lot before they got his problems sorted out, your young, so you need to get it sorted as you have a long life to live, so again don't give up, i wish you luck 👍🤞

I know it’s worrying and your anxiety must be through the roof. None of us can wave a magic wand and I know your not asking us to, but your not alone, you have support through us, we have all been there and some of us are still there. Keep strong my friend and keep talking.
