Jo's taking me back to A&E (ER). My heart or chest seems to be doing funny things again.
Last time I went, for these same symptoms, they told me heart was absolutely fine and they found a mild infection in my lungs which they blamed for my symptoms
It feels more like the muscles in my chest are simply agitated, rather than my heart. I've checked my pulse a few times, and that has seemed ok.
Either way, they told me to come back to hospital if it happened again. it has, so we're going back very shortly.
Please pray for wisdom all round, and a speedy resolution.
I feel, otherwise, the best I've felt for weeks. Even the cough seems to have finally disappeared today.

@Berrybunchfamily I'm really late to this post, so sorry. But thanks for keeping us informed.
@KarlGessler no need to apologise
Hospital was hard! Heartbeat way too high (174). Finally got under control. I'm diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. And on blood thinners, BP meds and beta blockers to keep my heart lower, and that should prevent any further episodes.
Meds are until I see an arythmia specialist,
But I'm alive, and already adjusting to the meds...mostly
Doing everything to keep my heart beat low for 2 weeks ,then my own doctor has told me very slowly increase back to my usual exercise pace
God was so good to me. I got admitted to the cardiology ward overnight (which never happens) and my doctor tells me the consultant I saw is one of the best
So a rough month to say the least, starting with covid, ending with 2 hospital trips (1 lung infection) and going in a ward
Still, my heart is now beating peacefully, and I have hope that meds will not be permanent...losing weight is better than the meds, at defeating atrial fibrillation (quite the motivator)
@Berrybunchfamily Wow! No joke! Praise the Lord for your protection!
@Berrybunchfamily I have beard now too. :) It's "in" for manliness. :)
@KarlGessler lol
I only ever grew a ward for a gospel message...2 months or so of growth, that I shaved off in front of a group of young children, wile talking about God's forgiveness, and how He makes brand new when we say sorry and become Christians
A couple of weeks later a 4 year old gave her life to Christ at a light party we put on 🙂
Praise God
@Berrybunchfamily That's wonderful!
@KarlGessler yes, God is good
I've DM'd with a few details of what also happened to us during just November!
Oh, and due to the risk of bleeding, our family concluded I should grow a beard, since shaving is the most coin cause for hospital visits while on blood thinners
And I don't like beards...but I do, now, own a bread trimmer 😂
And I got back in our studio today, for the time since October!!! Mostly tidying up and updating the computer, but it felt good to be back in there!
