Hi Everybody!
I visited Dr. Sherrid yesterday in NYC for my 3 week check-up after the acohol ablation I had May 29th. He said my huge heart murmur was gone. I told him that I'd noticed some new and amazing developments. Then I explained to him that after exercise my feet had appeared VERY PINK. I have not seen any color in my feet other than blue for about 20 years. My blackouts and greyouts have disappeared entirely.
I still do have chest pains, but they are much less. Also, I seem to need almost the 250 mg of beta-blockers I required before. He felt that over time, I'd probably be able to reduce my dosage and suggested I try Atenol. I had misunderstood him on the phone last week and thought he was suggesting another drug I was fearful of--------
I am full of questions about the heart condition that remains. Everyone talks about heart rhythm problems on this site as though you are supposed to know how these different things feel, but the entire subject is just about as clear as mud to me.
How am I supposed to know if I am having a heart rhythm problem? How do you distinguish them?
Also, I'm having a great deal of problems with leg spasms. I think this might be because my body is straining to accomodate the increased blood flow to my feet. Having lived on barely enough circulation to stay alive, the veins and arteries down there have a lot of adjusting to do. Has anyone else had this problem during recovery from surgery?
