A blog on my incident on my health

I will try again to write this as I lost my original draft. Yesterday for about 50 minutes - my heart apparently slowed down real slow. Matter of fact I became very very weak and tried to feel my pulse matter of fact I could not feel any pulse. I started a procedure that I have use in the past and that is slow deep breathing and try to get myself going.The one thing in my favor is that I knew my sone was coming home and he is a very knowledgeable person from his experience in the military and I knew that I would get help. He came in the door and I explained my problem and he looked at me and said I was getting cold and clammy.I knew that I was in trouble as my vision was getting weaker. I asked him to call my Doctor and the good Doctor told him to call 911. Which he did . The Fire Dept got here very fast and checked my Readings and they said they could not get any readings. ( I forgot my son check by blood pressure etc and could not get any readings.) EMS got gere and got funny reading along with the news that I did not have to get a ride in an ambulance so maybe to save money. I told them to go ahead and five me a ride to the Hospital Emergency room . They hooked me up and gave me fluid etc and hauled me to the hospital. One thing about using the EMS is they get a person into the medical profession and they get started where as possibility I would have to sit in the waiting rooom. Although for Heart problems- they generally get a person in right away. As have stated in the past - after a half an hour - my pulse and blood pressure readings get back to almost normal. They gave me my pills that I normally take and after some rest and over night stay the readings were back to normal. These doctors discussed what to do with me as this condition has happened 4 or 5 times in the last 5 years.. They finally thought of a new deal and that was to check my heart and the veins in my kneck sonically. As far I could tell in talking with operators they could not tell me anything that was wrong but they did not tell me anything. The doctors did not tell me the results. they were going to find some way of checking me out electrically but they decided to send me home. I did feel real good so I was glad that was their decision. There is many controls on the Heart, - chemically, electric and of course mechanically. People are used to the term of pacemaker - which is like a capaciter which charge up and down as needed by the heart to get going again or even to level off the way it operates - there is a muscle in the heart that operates like s capaciter. Anyway back to myself- the doctors seem to think that maye I had an electrical problem- and they thought of some way to find out but they did not go about it any way to discover if I had such a problem and decided to send me home. This has been an experience and maybe I will learn something. I will have to keep track of future events in checking my heart so that this does not happen again or I can get help before it it too late. Don
