Back Home From The Hospital.

What a wild ride that I had been on since I went in the hospital the past Tuesday the 19th for a Echo Test and a Stress Test. During the test (it's like a two in one test) I was givin a medicine called "Dobutamine" and by the time the hospital got between 20 mcg/min and 30 mcg/min my blood pressure went through the roof, my blood pressure went from normal to somewhere around 214 over 105. My skull from the inside felt like this pressure pushing from the inside out, to me it felt like a migraine (never had one), also had a little bit of sensitivity to the light and had a little bit of chest pain. So the test had to stop and a little while I went to the ER and spent several hours there and then I was sent to a room from Tuesday until today. Yesterday I had a different test done called "Angiogram" and that test went great. No signs of blocked arteries, no signs of a stroke(s), no signs of a heart attack, and no signs of a congestive heart failure. My heart is doing fine. The tests that I had done in past between 2010 and earlier this year said something about a weak heart and something about a heart attack or a stroke that's why my Chiari surgery from this past Friday (11/15/2013) have been cancelled, that's why I had to do this test this past Tuesday, so that first test that I had done lead me in the hospital to do the angiogram, instead of going through my groin, the nurses went through my right wrest and mid right side of my neck. The test came ot great, and the way it sounds that I'm cleared for my Chiari surgery. In the mean time I'll get a phone call from the hospital to make a few follow-ups with some of the doctors and take it from there. I guess someone is watching over me. Now it's time to recover from my ordeal from the last few days over the next few days to a week or two. I'm just happy to be okay and back home.

Thank you so very very much for your concerns and prayers. It means a lot to me.

You were so lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Hopefully they will never give you that med again. Make sure you list it on your own records not to ever have it  given to you.

Hugs,

No kidding! I hope they don't give me that medicine again. I will.

Thank you, hugs.

Definitely get this on your allergy list.  I'm you are feeling better and all is well.  Good that your surgery will be back on.

I will. Thank you so much. Me too.

Hi Jason,

It sounds like you experienced anaphylactic shock from the contrast medication. Thank goodness you were in a hospital where they knew how to treat you. Knowledge is a powerful thing. You must be so happy to know your heart is good. Praise God!!!!!

Blessings my dear one.
