[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="3"]Hello Everyone!
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for your prayers and best wishes!!
I had been experiencing some "escaped beats and Palpitations" that led the Doctors to have me undergo a series of exams and tests, the last and most recent being a "Cardio Cath" to look for blockages and/or heart damage. I am happy to report that the results were NEGATIVE and that my heart is in good heath. As for causes and such they are now looking at possible issues related to of all things being related to "sleep apnea."
I am lying here in the hospital awaiting for word on the next step, possibly discharge with more tests to follow that do not require hospitalization. I can tell you that the cardio cath was an experience that I do not ever wish to repeat but in the end it was painless yet bizarre knowing/feeling a probe being placed in your heat through your femoral artery and then shooting a hot radioactive dye into your heart.
Once again a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for all of your prayer as it does indeed work. On a side note some of you may have noticed that I have a "+" in my signature line that is not a typo but rather the sign of the cross that I use to send blessings to all who I write to.
I love you guys![/SIZE][/COLOR]

Glad for the good news.
Now for the "sleep study" to determine if this is a contributing factor.
My husband had to go through this a few years ago. Not only did he have sleep apnea but it helped confirm some other conditions he had complained about to the doctors but they really had not listened or paid attention to. They confirmed that he also had an "extreme" problem with restless leg syndrome that was interrupting his sleep. He got the C-PAP machine (which is a mask you where when sleeping that causes "positive airway pressure" meaning it helps keep your airway (throat) open when you sleep so you do not stop breathing. Then the doctors finally gave him a medicine for the restless leg syndrome. He now can get more than a few hours sleep at a time.
It has helped him to have better daylight hours, too, as he is better rested.
Let us know how everything else goes with you, too.

Ugh.. I tried a CPap once... I felt clastraphopic as anything, and couldn't sleep with that thing.

Did they give him the meds with the scary warnings about Gambling and Sex addiction?
