Poison ivy - oak - sumac
Poison ivy - oak - sumac rash itself due to the high level of Co2 build up. Recently, his blood pressure drops to 60 unless regulated by medicine. ( pressure behind his heart was rated a 6) My huge concern is that in January 2003 he had a pacemaker implanted. Since that operation we have noticed a steady deterioration in his health, increased fatigue, heaving, difficulty swallowing, severe back pain (directly behind the area of the pacemaker), falling down occasionally. Is there any sort of relationship between the pacemaker operation, the marked decline in health following the surgery, and now this “mysterious” illness keeping him on a ventilator? Could heart or blood pressure medicine play a role? We are desperate because we know his body changed after his pacemaker operation and we do not know why. He’s never been sick. Is there any possibility an infection could exist in the pacemaker and it is not being detected or that the surgery set off some pre-existing disease or that something was damaged in the surgery?
