Let me first thank you all for offering advice and options my father could check into. He is doing some better. The doctors have taken him off of his blood pressure medicine and that seems to be helping. Thank you again for your posts. LButler :)

PLEASE EXCUSE MY MISSPELLING OF THE WORD STENT!!! I AM GLAD YOU FOUND IT TO BE SO AMUSING THOUGH. AT LEAST YOU GOT YOUR CHANCE TO DOWN SIZE SOMEONE ELSE TODAY. THANK YOU

His pulse usually runs around 97 to 117 when he has these spells......thank you for replying

Thanks, all of his blood work turned out fine.....He has worn a holter monitor twice before when this was happening and nothing major showed up. It has been about a year since he had a echo on his carotids. Maybe we should insist on another. thanks for replying

]I have a question......My father is having fainting spells where he is so weak he can't stand alone. He just had 6 stints put in 2 weeks ago. Drs. said this would help the probelm......it hasn't. Does anyone have any further suggestions that might explain this. We really thought the stint placement would help but so far it hasn't changed a lot. Please help!!

Congratulations......Good Luck to you!! :balloons:

I have a question....I am a new nursing student and I want to go into the pediatric field. Is there anything I should do now (I am trying to finish up my pre-reqs) before I actually start in the nursing program? What should I do once I get in the Nursing program to advance myself in this direction? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks so much, Lynn :)
