Guest Charlie Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I went to my cardiologist on monday and they checked out whats been going on with me.Apparently i was shocked and didnt realise it once but that isnt the new thing. They said that it seems that my medication;my flecainide is not doing what it should be,its taking no effect.Though that isnt what caused my recent incident it is causing a problem,because my rhythms are once again going out of whack.So they will be speaking to me of another heart surgery.I will have to give an update when i find out exactly what they are going to do.Its something that they go in with a probe i believe and look for some heart defect they think i have and try to remove it.Again i will give a better description once i have the next appt which will be relatively soon. They have done a few things,one put me on a higher dosage of meds and 2 turned my defibrillator to a lower heart beat setting so that it wont wait so long before delivering the shock so that i wont once again have such a high rhythm like the recent episode.Now it will go off once i hit 165 bpm which they said i usually run like 140-150 if i remember it right.That scared me..now i have to worry even more ill hurt james For now i just have to take things slow and im not allowed to try for our second baby until things are sorted out.
