The hits just keep coming - Updated

My week just keeps getting worse.  Jim went to the doctor this morning for his cold/sinus infection and they found some sort of heart rhythm thing.  He's really bad at conveying the important information and couldn't tell me exactly what the doctor said or much of anything else.  He did send him to LabCorp to check his thyroid, so maybe that's it and it's an easy fix, or maybe it's not even related.  The doctor referred him to a cardiologist next week. 

I don't even know what to Google, so I can't try to put my mind at ease or anything else.  I guess I'll just worry about everything until Thursday.  

 

Update:  Jim called the doctor back because I was so upset.  He said that he has lone a-fib, which has no underlying cause on an EKG (which they apparently did this morning) and shows up in someone under 60.  He also said it probably would be gone when we go to the cardiologist next week and that he doesn't have to do anything different in the meantime.  He just made the referral as a precaution and not to worry.  I'm still going with him, but I feel much better.

Re: The hits just keep coming - Updated

  • **Hugs** I'm sorry.

  • Sorry! I know they take extra precautions with anything heart related, and a lot of the time it turns out to be NBD. It's always scary when you don't know though. Hope everything turns out well!
  • Oh Reba, I'm sorry.  T&Ps that it's something minor and easy to fix, not just NBD at all.

    We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

    I'm so sorry, I am praying that it turns out to be NBD and nothing serious.

  • *hugs* I hope this turns out to be just a little scare.

    And I vote you treat Jim like a 5 year old and attend all future appointments for your ease of mind.

    Agreed. I've gone with my H before (at his request). I've never had to ask a question, though, because just being there is enough to get him to ask (I guess he knows I will ask if he doesn't).

  • Ugh, I'm sorry. Hope it turns out to be NBD.

  • Hopefully it's nothing. Doctors are probably just trying to be extra cautious. Keeping good vibes coming your way and to Jim.

     Good!  And, it's probably better you don't know what to google--you'd drive yourself nuts in the meantime.  Lots more hugs headed your way.

  • I hope it's nothing. I'll be praying for him.

    And I really wish I could come visit and just give you a huge hug. You are such an amazing woman and I wish you didn't have to go through all of this. I say you guys need to take your cruise out of Jax so you can visit.

  • Oh Reba I'm so sorry you're stressed about this. I really hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

  • I saw this while at work but couldn't post. I'm thinking you guys.

  • Aw man, that's super stupid. You hear that universe? It's time to let up with the crap!

    I hope it's easily fixable! I'll be thinking of you guys.

  • Hopefully it turns out to be nothing.  If it were something major, I'm sure they would have sent him to the ER right away.

    With the cold, has he been taking the OTC sinus meds?  He might want to hold off for now in case that is causing the problem.  Some people are really sensitive to them.

  • Thanks for the update - that sounds encouraging.  As somebody mentioned, they're just being extra cautious because it's the heart.  I'll be thinking of you both next week and hope that the cardiologist agrees there's nothing to worry about.

  • Glad it's not a huge deal, and that the appointment is just for precautions.

  • I'm glad you got a good update. Hope things go well at the appointment next week.

  • Reba, big hugs!  You poor thing!  For what it's worth, both of my in-laws have a-fib, manage it closely, and don't have any huge problems other than a few doctors appointments a year.  It's still a stressful pill for you to have to swallow, but they've both dealt with it for years.  Hopefully the doctors find it was just a fluke, but if not, at least they caught it!  Thoughts and prayers for you and Jim.
