Three days ago,I had an episode of sudden sweating and feeling bad-something like being flushed. I got worried so I looked up sudden sweats on the internet and found it could be a sign of a heart attack. THis scared me very much and so I got a little panicky and got more flushed and got the feeling I recognize when people have told me I look pale.
The sweats lasted about 5 minutes and the panicky feeling came and went for hours. The episode and the feat associated with it are combined enough so I can't completely tell them apart.
Then I went to the emergency room and had 2 ekgs and 2 blood tests, one about 2 hours after my episode and the other about 6 hours after. Everything was normal.
The emergency room scheduled me for a stress test and told me someone would call me soon in regards to it.
I'm 51, 25# overweight, have parox. afib for 14 years that's been controlled by Flecainide for a couple of years.
I take:
150 mg Flecianide twice a day
240 mg Diltiazem time release once a day (rate controller in case I go into afib)
15? mg Lipitor once a day
325 mg aspirin once a day
500 mg Keflex twice a day (about halfway through week prescription)
500 mg Valtrax twice a day (about halfway through 5 day prescription)
What could the episode have been ?
