HELLO TO ALL. IN RESPONSE TO MARY'S QUESTION, MY DOCTOR HAS PRESCRIBED SALT TABLETS, LOTS OF WATER, MILD EXERCISE EACH MORNING AND ATENOLOL (heart medication). I WAS TOLD TO DISCONTINUE THE BETAPACE MEDICATION PRESCRIBED A FEW YEARS AGO. I AM GLAD TO SEE MORE MOVEMENT ON THE FORUM. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THAT ONCE AGAIN LAST NIGHT AS I SAT ON THE COMMODE DOING A SIMPLE #1 I PASSED OUT LIKE A ROCK. IT WAS 4:30 A.M. AND I CAME TO ONCE AGAIN ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR CALLING FOR HELP. AS USUAL, I FELT NAUSEOUS, WAS CLAMMY, SWEATY, BUT MOSTLY I WAS UPSET THAT IT HAD HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN! I THOUGHT THAT AFTER MY RECENT CHANGE IN MEDICATION I WOULD BE RID OF THIS PROBLEM FOR GOOD. I HAVE CONTACTED MY DOCTOR TO ADVISE HIM. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FALL ASLEEP AGAIN AND MADE IT INTO WORK (A LITTLE LATE). THIS IS VERY DISTURBING FOR ME SINCE WHEN I PASS OUT MY HEART HAS A TENDENCY TO STOP ALTOGETHER. I AM SCARED THAT ONE NIGHT I AM JUST GOING TO PASS OUT AND MAY NOT WAKE UP AGAIN. DOES ANYBODY ELSE FEEL THIS WAY? DOES ANYBODY ELSE'S HEART STOP? PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RESPOND ON THE FORUM OR TO EMAIL ME AT ACAMACHO@lorcapcam.com
