I am scared to death that I am the only one.

Hi shelbyrw, just want to help if I can. I was born with a heart problem so I know a lot about heart things you could say. I have had three-open heart surgeries. but am doing good for now. To start with Id like to say I had a friend that was doing what you are doing. and they had to put a pacemaker in her. but now days they can do a lot more than when I had my surgeries. and when I was in the hospital a friend of mine was told she had to have surgery the next morning. and beleive it or not, I was more scared than she was. I thought all know she will probably be needing my help when she comes back. So I had fluffed her pillow and got her some ice chips. etc
and then the next morning they came and took her down stairs. I was bitting my nails and all. well it didn't even seem like it was fifteen mins. I know it probably was around thirty mins. to an hour. but it seemed like fifteen mins. and when she told me what they did, I was amazed. she said they just put this thing on her stomach and typed something in and it was done. all I could say was wow thank God for tech. So you see the main thing is to try to stay calm and then find the right doctor for you and your kids sake. also no if u have chest pains that are dull and go to your arms or up in your neck go to the ER. but mine does that all the time too. the doctors put me on meds for mine. some can be treated with meds. hope this helps, and take care and God bless k
