I'm 21 years old, have had my share of different types of relationships so I enjoy answering love life questions. Whether it's about getting closer emotionally or physically don't hesitate to ask, hopefully I'll be able to help. I also love the medical field and will be a registered nurse soon. If you have any questions regarding a recent medical diagnosis (don't ask for one please, not a doctor) I can help you better understand it and the treatment as well
advice
im 19 nearly 20 female
i went to the hospital on thursday bout why i have been blacking out ( i loose my sight and hearing, i go very weak i cant stand up without support and i go very pale so a friend has told me but i can recall everything that happens) he got concerned and sent me for an ECG which he wasnt happy about, he now wants to do a 24hour ECG, an MRI scan and an EEG (brain scan), i have looked this up and it has come up as 'arrhythmia' im scared with this i will loose my independance like driving and going places on my own. i only think this because since then no one will let me do anything like lifting a 2litre bottle of cola or a small pile of baskets (i work in shop)...now my mum wont even let me move my bed by my self but i need to so i can clean it i dont want her help i can do it... what does this all mean and where do i go from here? i am loosing more sleep over this plz i am in desperate need of someones advice thank you x
Your questions a little confusing but I think I have the idea. You were feeling sick so you got some scans and tests done that resulted in an arrhythmia diagnoses? Arrhythmia is basically a irregular heart beat which can be caused by many things; you having one isn't the bad thing, that would be the cause (some are fixable, others you have to live with). So until your doctor has found the reason for your heart condition there's no reason to worry. A good friend of mine had two episodes where he got dizzy and completly pass out because of is heart, but they only happened those two times in high school, he's been fine since.
Try not to worry and in the mean time you may be able to help your doctor by trying to find out what caused it yourself. Maybe you were stressed out, skipped a meal, anything that you do before you get dizzy and lose your hearing
(Rating: 5) thank you hun, and sorry for the confusion, im still waiting for results at the moment and the confusing thing is its not stress, and i never skip meal i love my food to much it just comes on out of the blue
