purple Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 I agree. It's not "normal" to be that dizzy. My HR didn't go back down gradually, it dropped like a rock from the 150's to the 60's...but according to her it was "normal". I know better. Getting any other testing done will be impossible. The cardio doc that I saw at the consult only agreed to this test to "put my mind at ease" as he put it. What a jerk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted February 12, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 12, 2009 Purple, are you taking metropolol? J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 No. My cardiac-type meds are: Verapramil, Nitro, Spironolactone and mega Potassium Supplements. But I have taken that in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I used to take it with the Verapramil....but it slowed my HR down too much (into the 30s & 40s)...so I had to stop taking it. *Get this...I have this Holter monitor on right? Getting ready to take it off. I told them that I wouldn't have my car today to bring it back, so they told me to mail it back and gave me a box. But, the lady told me that they didn't have any boxes with the postage already on it so I'd have to pay the postage to mail this monitor back to them!!!! Really?? And all they gave me is the box. No padding material, nothing. I swear these ppl are idiots. Also, I told them I wouldn't have a car today...which means walking to the Post Office in the cold. -or- Just wait and take it to them on Tuesday, since they are closed on Monday anyway....
