Hi Mikeyp,
You say that the doctors cannot find anything wrong even though you have had several tests. I have a question about the two
24 hour Holter monitors that you had. I am assuming that when you were wearing the monitors you did not experience an "episode"
and that your heart was in normal sinus rhythm. I am wondering why you don't try a two week monitor or month long monitor. I have had both
since my electrophysiologist could not "see" the problem I was describing since I didn't experience it in the 24 hour period that I was
wearing the Holter Monitor. I had SVT all my life and in my 50's I developed AF. I am now free of any rate or rhythm problems after a successful PVA (pulmonary vein ablation). I also had a standing order for an EKG so I could walk into a lab or hospital and have an EKG when I was experiencing symptoms. It sounds like your EKG showed no rhythm or rate disturbances. If you get these episodes once or twice a day, I am assuming that when you wore the monitor you could hit the "episode button" and then record your symptoms. Did this happen the two times you wore the monitor? If you were symptom free during those two times, it would seem to make sense to ask for a monitor that you can wear for a week or two to ensure that you can document the problem. What do you think?

Hi Mikey again - I replied below and am now reading all the posts. I feel for you and know you will get to the bottom of this. I've had brutal lung, cardiac, and kidney damage so am familiar with all these electrolyte issues. They are all so connected! Your gut feeling is the one to follow. Your electrolytes can be used and imbalanced so quickly, then everything is affected! Your kidney issues would absolutely influence your heart in some way!
Thanks JMS,
I agree, it's all starting to make sense now, the only thing bothering me is how come out of all these tests that were done none of these Dr.'s came to the same conclusion ?
I know! I was thinking about you this morning and how bizarre this all is. You really do have a great attitude. By now the Drs. Should be connecting dots and seeing the bigger picture, which involves your kidneys! I learned alot about nutrition and foods for healing from Linda Page's "Healthy Healing," and also the Balch book "Prescription for Nutritional Healing." They may not give you specifics for your odd situation, but you will get great info re electrolytes, suppplements, what can correct imbalances. I refer to both books often. I also love Louise Hay's book "You Can Heal Your Life." Again, may not give you specifics, but she lists fascinating metaphysical causes for health "dis-ease" (get it? Lack of ease!). You seem to value good information, which is terrific! I've had kidney issues related to lung and heart damage, and really learned alot about foods and nutrients. It's ALL connected! It would be great if you could get to someplace like the Mayo and see a top cardiologist, who would then make the right connections for you. : )
