Another ER visit :-(

Posted on by

I decided to skip prayer meeting tonight to go to the ER. 🙄

I would much rather have been at prayer meeting!

Just as I was getting ready to go, putting my shoes on, I had another attack of SVT. I was discouraged that it happened again so soon — the last incident was a little over a month ago,  but before that it had happened less than once a year. I hope this was just a fluke and not a new trend.

And this time the adenosine didn’t work. It usually works immediately, but they tried it twice to no avail. They then tried another medication that they said worked similarly to the metoprolol I am already one, and it finally worked. But the fact that the adenosine didn’t work was discouraging. I am hoping that that’s just a fluke, too, and doesn’t mean that this is getting harder to get under control.

I’m back at home now and fine after being under observation at the hospital for a couple of hours. But I do admit that I am a little discouraged about it all.

  3. Oh Barbara!

    I was battling SVT’s myself and finally had Ablation Therapy. My heart rate would go to 220! Felt like I had run a marathon in place! It’s bad when the ER doctor knows you on a first name basis!

    I will definately be praying for you. You must be exhausted – rest up and take it real easy today!

  6. Hope you are recovering from your unexpected excursion last night! Sorry to hear you’ve had another of these attacks.

  8. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had this episode. Thanks, though for sharing with us. That is why God brought us together, to be there for each other. Praying for you,
    Mama Bear
