Vasovagal Syncope also called neurocardiogenic

After going through a chest x-ray, ekg, and a echocardiogram. The final diagonsis is Vasovagal Syncope which is a medical term for fainting. We all faint from time to time and it is not life threatening. Not fatal unless you happen to be flying a plane at the time you faint. The tilt test revealed it all. His blood pressure drops and slows his heart beat and deprives the brain of blood results is black out, pass out, faint!

Everyoneone has different Triggers for fainting. They cannot determine the reason or trigger for TAG. For whatever reason his fainting trigger has been triggered and needs a beta blocker to stop it from happening.

I am thankful that the beta blocker will help with this. I am thankful to know that his heart is healthy. I am thankful that is was not a TIA or seizure and no brain damage was caused. I am also thankful that in 6 months this will be reviewed to see if he can come off the medication. It's also good to know that he is doing well managing his diabetes.

Thanks for all the friends and family for phone call and any assistance you gave. He is home now still a little shaky when walking around.

See you at work tomorrow.

My discovery!

As a little girl I did not play with dolls, did not play house. I climbed trees and explored how things worked. Tried to make my bike do things it was not meant to do. My mother complain when I was a toddler she would dress me in frilly dresses to play and I would prompty find mud or dirt. My mother and father had a loving relationship but I really did not see my father much. He worked the night shift. I had a close relationship with my mother. She taught me to crochet and make clothes. She kept a beautiful home and was a great cook. I felt that my father did not appreciate her enough so I decided that I would not get married and deal with someone who did not appreciate me. When my mother died it totally crippled my father. I realized just how much he appreciated her. When she first died he would just sit in a chair and just stare for hours. Finally I started talking to him and he revealed just how much he needed her. Then I decided that I should not get married because I wou...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DRESS!

I was inspired by this blog SEW MUCH FABRIC, SEW LITTLE TIME. She is using her fabric stash to create a basic wardrobe. I just love all the T’s and skirts that she has made, so I have decided to work on doing the same. But first (no I am not putting it off) I have to finish this dress that is making me angry. I had a wonderful tropical print fabric which would have been the perfect summer dress. I kept the fabric for several summers and did nothing with it. I finally decided the make a dress; unfortunately it was not a summer dress. Well it is a summer dress but its not the perfect summer dress. I have decided to go back to not making decision when I am on my cycle. (ironic, huh!) Granted when you have not had a cycle for two months the PMS that usually sounds the warning bell is not so loud. Never make decision to cut your hair(I'm wearing a wig her name is Oprah) or use perfect summer fabric on a non summer dress. So my project is to redo this dress and create the perfect su...
