Well I had really hoped that the lab results would come back as an out of whack thyroid and that would basically be the end of that...just take a pill every day for life. I am never that Lucky. My lab results are all perfect - even my Vitamin D levels (thanks to the OH Vitamin gurus and the suggestion of D3)

It looks like I'm headed for a pacemaker. I had to go this morning for another test - an echo gram and he should have all the reults in front of him later this afternoon in order to start the scheduling. The halter monitor showed my heart rate dropping into the 30's while I slept. I've had to voluntarily give up my driving until things get back to normal.

I'll keep yall posted. Oh and he says this is more than likely a genetic thing.

(((Iris))),

I know that you were hoping for a different outcome, but I think that overall you are in good hands and will come through this healthier and stronger. 

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Warmly,

I am so glad for modern technology and that a pacemeaker will do the trick for you. I know the thought of it is scary but you will feel so much better after its in and you will not have to worry so much. My DH has a genetic heart thing and he has to keep a watch on it too. More important we know about it and the kids can be on the watch for what they may need to do for themselves to live long healthy normal lives.
