Hey all, generally l don't vent here much about personal matters, but l had a SCARY few minutes this morning and it has left me shaken up all day.....My 2 yr old grnd son spent the nite w/ me and he woke up crying about 530a....l came downstairs with him and got him some juice then carried him back upstairs....l felt SOB, tachycardic, and thought for a moment due to 4 hrs sleep and fatigue. So l lay on my bed and WHAM BAM.....my heart is BOUNDING at about 180 , l am sweating, feel HOT from the inside out....lasted about 3 minutes...l actually thought l would pos. die! I mean l am ER nurse, but l was soooo scared l never even thought about vagal manouver, just maybe calling 911. and then l am thinking, my hair looks aweful but l did get a shower....blahblahblah.....can you belive it, think maybe l am on verge of death and all l can think is "is my hair clean?".....Well, l am on Tenormin for benigne palpitations for about 12 yrs now, once told that it was PAC's......no biggy, only other hx is GERD....i missed one dose of the Tenormin , have done this before without problems....Also, just started on 1/2 of lowest dose of thyroid med due to ? low thyroid function...forgot to take that too....l am really scared this will happen again,,,what if l am driving or working.... l think is was a big run of PSVT!...l am a BIG scardy cat....and no l did not call my MD or go to ER since it resolved............l know l know.....bad patient...l admit...........still have the jitters and l have to work tomorrow.........LR
