Hi,
i am a 25 yr female with past heart problems. I had to have my sa node partialy ablated due to my heart reaching 250 bpm. I have been put on flecainide since I was 17 years old to control arrythmias.
Friday I woke up and could feel my heart misfiring and was getting sick went to work and by night I could not stand it. I was having tons of palpitations and went to the er. The er said I was having vt and gave me o2 and inderal la(antiarrythmic) upped my flec to 2x day, gave me valium to control the tacacardia. I was told that all blood work was normal and to go to my cardiologist asap.
Just went to my cardiologist and he said the er misdaignosed me. I should not be on inderal. My ekg showed potassiom deficency as well as my blood work. I just went to my family doc to find the underlying cause of the defeciency and feel helpless.
They gave me potssiom supplements, but I had to see the pa today. She said a cold or some virus is causing me to feel ill?! She also said in the office if I was anxious when I was in the hospital or cardiologist bc they wrote that in my chart that I "looked" anxious. I said to her no I feel like crap from being misdiagnosed and having missed beats. I am not stressed/depressed.
Should I try to get in tomorow with my family doc? Can stress cause hypokelemia and atrial premature beats? I read that there is an underlying cause for this on the internet and she felt I had some cold virus.
Please someone let me know :cry: I am feeling sick and am getting told by the pa i'm crazy
