Back Home From Hospital

[Barb102]

Hi everyone. Boy am I glad to be back here. Monday afternoon I had to be taken to the hospital. I was having really bad chest pains. I was having so much trouble breathing  of that set off an anxiety attack. I got home today. After numerous heart tests thank God it wasn’t a heart attack. Just AFIB and my lungs taxing my heart. So grateful to come home this afternoon.

I can only imagine how scary that must have been for you, Barb.  I'm glad you are okay.  Is medication going to be able to take care of the Afib symptoms?

Wow my friend, so sorry I am just seeing this. Sending belated hugs -love and prayers your way.

I totally understand the fear bought on by our hearts doing funky things.  Mine has done that quick staccato a-rhythmic beat now and again and it's very scary.  Glad your're home.  Hope your symptoms lessen SOON!

Barb, this is the first post I've read this morning!  Glad to hear you're alright.  You need to quit this.  You've had too many medical emergencies in a year.   Is this the first you've learned about the AFIB?  Do you need to follow up with PCP?  Sometimes they treat with meds and other times they don't.  I have to commend you with staying strong with your quit with all the stressors you've had.  Hope you'e feeling better now.

Take care of yourself first is the best advice. My sister-in-law had the same thing happen to her and it took some rest to help her feel better.  I'm just happy for you that it was nothing worse!

I'm so glad you are home Barb. I hope you are resting, I've had that before and it's very scary.

Thank you all for caring about me. It made me cry to see how many of you care for me. Some friends and family said it’s from “that smoking all the years”.  Probably is, but I did finally quit and sometimes a gentle hug is needed. That there are more of you cheering me on then making me guilty means the world to me. I can’t turn the clock back. I can only move it forward.  I’m very tired and the RX made me sick so they changed it.  Spring is coming !  So it’s my season to grow too. Love you all for your kindness to me. When I’m not sick, I’ll always be there for you too. Taking an oxygen test Monday night to see if I need nighttime oxygen. Oxygen level at night in hospital was 85 said that wasn’t good. Don’t know what the number means. Maybe Thomas can help me understand if he sees this. NOPE  Smoking will never again be an option for me. I choose to live.  I hope newbies see my story and stay strong to their quits.

I choose to live and everyone should. The sooner the quit, the better the quality of life. Will play a few games with you now. I love those games. Takes my mind off things. Then I’ll rest.  Happy St Patrick’s Day.  Happy blessed Sunday love to all
