My mom is in the hospital being fitted for a pacemaker after fainting last night. She needed 5 stitches and I guess they ran some tests, determined heart was the problem.
I had thought her problems were the typical low thyroid/high estrogen/high serotonin, as she had been having panic attacks in the last year, and in one of the recent ones fainted. I assumed it was related to the panic attacks.
Her pulse and temps are ok although maybe masked by cortisol. She doesn't take thyroid and will only take the tiniest daily amount of Progest-E as otherwise she gets hot flashes. I tried to get her to take cypro but she said it made her too drowsy. She is stubborn :)
I'm really worried now about the pacemaker and whatever bad effects that may cause. Does anyone have any suggestions?
