Oh dear...that sounds painful and frustrating, Dorothy. If I were you, I would to Emergency. They see people with heart issues immediately. Hopefully they call a cardiologist and that you are not just treated by a resident. Maybe go early in the morning on a weekday.

That's true. i went to the er with a heart rate of 28. within 10 minutes they had done all my blood work and were pushing meds in me. Didn't work. Within 1 hour I was in the Cath lab getting a temp pacemaker Total heart block called for a permanent on, got the next morning. I too have shoulder pain, but it's because I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery and am holding my arm in an unnatural position. I hope she finds relief soon.
