His ENT put him on Prevacid and he hasn't had a single problem since. Like you, he had no other signs. His last surgery was 8 years ago.<br /><br />Loved the photos of the farm.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-48935860173997891332010-07-27T13:22:05.265-05:002010-07-27T13:22:05.265-05:00Carol,

I personally think you might still be on the journey to nowherre when the new rules are in place.<br /><br />I made two trips by ambulance two nights in a row for spiking blood pressure and strange needles and pins sensation all over my body. I swore I was having an heart attack only to be laughed at as I had a near perfect EKG going all the time. {I do have atheroscherosis so heart attack is not out of question]<br /><br />We still haven't found the cause, and I still have spiking, except the powers that be got tired of seeing me, so gave me RX for clonidine, which brings it down in 15 minutes. Still don't know anything. I need a doctor to think outside the box<br /><br />SO Glad you are every so much better, but glad you had your reading to comfort you.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003489296067000954.post-18828156199579837512010-07-26T17:41:23.798-05:002010-07-26T17:41:23.798-05:00Shaking my head at all you've done!
