Title: Good News from MRI appt and then....
Post by: Jwh on July 16, 2012, 04:00:01 pm
I wasn't even done basking in the sun with my all clear results when the next day I was driving I had heart palpitations, blacked out and hearing went.  Luckily my dad was there and grabbed the wheel.  The whole episode only lasted a few seconds but was scary as hell.
Needless to say, I have a cardiologist appt. tomorrow evening. 
Could this be the result of all the anxiety I was having? I've been through a lot of stress the last six months?

I won't attempt to 'play doctor' here but I suspect that your stress over the recent MRI could be a factor that brought on this scary episode. 

Seeing a cardiologist as soon as possible is a prudent course of action.  I hope nothing is found and this is simply a result of your recent high anxiety.  Please let us know.  Thanks.

Jen,

Wow, what a  blessing that your dad was there to help you.  Glad you didn't wreck and your okay.  It's good your seeing a cardiologist and they can give you some answers.  I know stress can play a big part  too.

You might want to ask about a tilt table test for neurocardiogenic syncope. 
Good luck with your appt.  and I hope it's nothing serious.

Take care =)
Wendy

Oh wow...that is like the absolutely worse time to black out for sure! It was indeed a good thing your father was there. I'm following this so I can hear what the outcome was! Take care!

You have been through a lot and your questions can only be answered after ruling out medical reasons.
