Question:
Orthostatic Hypotention-Inapropiate sinus tachyicardia

Im curious as if anyone else other than myself has been told that they have developed Inapropiate Sinus Tachicardia {uncontrollable heartrate}, as well as Orthostatic Hypotention.Im post~op five years, and have lost @160 lbs. Im currently in the hospital now trying yet another mediciene. They put me on Norapace, to which I had a horriable reaction to, so he had to discontinue it. Now hes talking about doing surgery to correct the IST.Ploeasehelp if you have any suggestions, thanks ...Dana    — littleDimples (posted on May 9, 2008)

Hi Dana, You sound pretty uncertain about this surgery. Do you think a second opinion might be in order? It might help you to feel more secure in what you are being told if you get it from yet another source. It doesn't sound as if the IST and OH are a result of WLS, especially since your are five years out. Generally, any shift as a result of surgery would happen within months. Is it possible that this is an hereditary condition? Did all your pre-op conditions resolve after your WLS? I ache for you. I know what it is to be in that state of uncertainty and anxiety. You are a believer in the Lord Jesus though according to your profile. Cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you. Don't forget prayer and the counsel of wise friends while you are going through this valley. Love and blessings, in Him, Laura
