Yes Henry, that's the one. Thanks for sharing. What happens to the radioactive (nuclear) drug? Does it settle in different parts of your body? Liver for instance? Cause cancer later? That's what I wonder. Everything in your blood has to filter through your liver and I'm not sure your body ever gets rid of it.
I just hope my heart doesn't go into afib and pvc's while the camera is going if I have to lie still. I had to 'tought it out' through an attack of both earlier today.
Not everytime, but often when afib/pvc attacks start occurring and I immediately take my B/P, It is usually elevated to say 160/105 plus. Sometimes it is ok when the attacks start and then goes up. This morning when the first signs of an attack appeared I immediately took my B/P and it was 161/106. I took more Norvasc and fortunately it never went higher. Have any of you noticed what yours is? Right now as of 11:23 am, I seem to have weathered the storm of another attack and just afib'ng now and not pvc'ng, only occassionally. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I was going to take some clothes to the cleaners but afraid to try it right now. Maybe later. This mess is driving me crazy! I can't even think clear anymore it seems.
