Well I am out of the hospital. My heart rate was in the 30’s and 40’s so my husband took me to a different hospital then our local one which is sad to say but the hospital here is crappy. Anyway they admitted almost as soon as I got there. It turns out that I have bad sleep apnea. I just talked to the lady from the sleep apnea center yesterday and she told me she will be calling me in a few days or so to go pick up a machine to do a home study then I take it back the next morning. Still seeing a cardiologist Monday. They could not find anything wrong with my heart so praise God. Will keep you posted

Very scary! I am so happy you got checked out and chose what you thought would be the better hospital for your care. I definitely recommend seeing the cardiologist just to be on the safe side. Best of luck!

Good that you have it figured out! Sleep apnea can be a scary thing to have, as well as live with someone who has it. Good that hubby sought out a better hospital! Think into the future, once you have your machine, you may have more energy during the day and have a better sense of well being overall ((SENDING POSITIVE VIBES))

@suzzee33 It’s so great to see they do the home studies now! That is such a blessing! When I had mine done, they tossed one thin blankie at me, the hospital gown with my @ss flapping in the breeze, hooked up 30 cold stickie electrodes everywhere, turned the temperature down to Disney Frozen then said “have a good night” Welp, no wonder I woke up 20 times and stopped breathing, I was in a frozen hell. LOL I hope yours is relaxing, as normal as possible and for the love of gawd, not cold! LOL

@eclecticzebra I did one years ago and I guess I got lucky. I had a nice little room and the bed had a comforter and a blanket. Clean sheets 2 pillows and a TV. Didn’t have apnea then but they even served coffee, tea, milk and danishes and bagels in the morning. Only thing I hated was all that gel that they put on my head to connect the electronics to. Man that stuff was all in my hair…..yuck
