was having a very bad day on friday so I went to the Dr the ECG the Dr did showed an inverted T(something) but it was later dicovered the nurse put the leads on backwards, so I'm glad about that now.
On the saturday when the cardiologist came to see he was very rude to me and very the nurses ect that no one had figured out that leads were put on backwards. The horrable Dr called me overweight and lazy. He told me my problems was nothing to do with heart and I need to go watch a movie about some good concentration camps and look at what thay eat and half it. I was so upset with him I told the nurses not let him come near me again at all. I made a  formal complaint about him and they arrange to have me stay in over night again and have another cardiolgist talk to me. Today the other head cargioligist said I either had POTS or inappropraite sinus tachycardia after asking me about when I get tacky she concluded it was proberly more likly the inapropraite sinus tachycardia as my heart rate go's up even when I'm sitting and doing simple tasks. the Dr put me on Coralan 5 ( Ivabradine) 5mg. I have already notice a hug difference in my heart rate. I got out of hospital and went to the shops for food for tea and I put the shopping in the car and unpacked the shopping and was still standing and feeling like I stay standing I was tired and puffed out but I dont feel exausted. my pulse got to 135 at the highest but it was when I ran the trolly to the check out for fun I felt so different it felt good. My pulse went back down prety fast as well. it barly got about 120 when in the past 1y the same activities would have got my pulse to 185 and I'd still be high right now.
I'm still seeing the cardioligist on firday next week but I'm glad to finally have something to make to feel better even if it is only 1 step to getting better it feels the a huge releif like some one has taken the cements boots off my feet. Gravity no longer feels it has a grip on me when I walk. Only time will tell how much better I will feel on this new med.

have you seen your doctor? the lowest my bp has been is 90/58 but i was pregnant and always have had low blood pressure, this could be down to being anxious bout it, i get low bp and fast heartrate when very anxious but doctor says it fine, doctors tell me a pulse should be 60-100 bpm and bp varies cuz some people have no symptoms when very low, bp can change from 140/85 and drop to 90/60 throughout the day depends on what we're doing.
