I'm on Eliquis and Diltiazen, which is supposed to regulate my heart rate. There is nothing more my GP can do for me. I have to wait until I see the cardiologist in two weeks. Even if I go to the ER there is nothing they can do either. I get real scared when this happens, but this morning I woke up fine and my heart rate has been normal all morning. It seems my heart acts up when I'm tired, at night, so I need to try to not get tired until the cardiologist can evaluate me.
So, I just picked up my medical records from the pulmonary function test I had done a year ago and it states on there I might have asthma. It said that on the DLCO maneuver my lung function was less than 85% of vital capacity. My GOP did not tell me that. The rest of the test showed normal pulmonary function. I'm taking these test results to the cardiologist also.
I need to learn to cope with this. It's been a month now since my heart went nuts and I got diagnosed in the ER. It's clear it's not going to fix itself.
Thanks for listening.
