Hi guys long time no post!!!

by Sunshine47, May 08, 2008 05:22PM
I had some time while my daughter is being tutored so I thought I would write a quick post to see how everybody is doing. I am doing alot better with the heart skipping issue since my doctor put me on Prozac. I never thought that would work but it has been a miracle in 2 ways. It has helped my many PVC's and PAC's and has made me lose a ton of weight. I have lost close to 52 pounds. I didn't get the CPAP machine because my problem lies in my throat and my palate. I am scheduled in 3 weeks to have laser sx on my throat because I was born without tonsils the muscles in my throat grew really close together and when I lie down it closes even more and then my uvula barely has enough room to hang down so that makes my air way obstructed and also found out that I have a deveated septum. That means I only get air flow through one side and I can't breath out of my mouth at night so I stop breathing. That in itself is hard on you heart. Maybe when they get that taken care of my heart will be okay. I hope this post finds all my friends well and happy. I miss you guys. The doctor was right about reading too much. I did too much research and which made my symptoms worse. Mind over matter. Oh well write back and let me know how you all are doing!!! Have a great night with no skips. Love you all. Big hugs from Tennessee

Great to hear from you guys. Your right Cathy we did make a connection. I am glad to hear that you are doing better. Thanks Connie for the well wishes. I will keep you guys updated about my procedure. One bad thing I work as a Senior Customer Service Rep and I won't be able to talk for about a week. I can't be quiet for a minute. Sometimes my family ask me to be quiet.Ha. Thanks guys for being my true friends and your support. Love ya all,
Hugs to you both.
