Yes, holter monitor... I was drawing a blank before, but that's exactly it. I've heard people mention them before, but have never had to have one myself. Guess there's a first time for everything.

Just remember to take off the stickers s.l.o.w.l.y. :eek:

You're tellin me!!! They missed one today when they took them off after my EKG... So when I got to work and was itchy, I went to scratch and tore that little sticker right off. Needless to say, I was all kinds of "What the hell?!?!". I think I could deal better with that than with whatever goopy shit ends up in my hair for the electrodes with the EEG.

OMG those stickers are a bitch. I had open heart surgery when I was younger and have to go see a cardiologist every 6 months- 1 year for a check up and always get an EKG and an Echo. You'd think that after 18+ of having to do this I'd be used to it, but no.

Everytime my dad has stuff done, he always comes home with at least 3 still on him. You'd think they'd remember all the ones they put on! Hopefully everything turns out ok. Let us know if you want!

Not to make light of the situation, but my boyfriend sent this to me...it's about a dog who saved his owner's life by sensing blood sugar abnormalities! Who knows, maybe we can get endo's to write prescriptions for Beagles.

nope, they never do :rolleyes:

Dr. Called. Good news: All my labs came back "Perfect" - including the blood sugars. Bad news: this means no one is any closer to having any idea what the problem is.

I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but I'm glad that at least nothing is seriously wrong with you.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this was a one time thing? Maybe it was just a combination of circumstances. Being 1.5 hours away from food maybe a sugar crash, in a club where it's warm, maybe still dehydrated even though you weren't drinking. Weird yes, scary yes, but maybe just an isolated occurance?

I hope!

Me too! Keep us informed.

And come visit me.. or let's meet in the middle... I'm going to have to actually do that some day...

Lest we forget, *someone* had a three day weekend last weekend for a *reason*..... :p

You know odd enough, my friend had the same exact thing happen to her last night... well not exact but similar. She was at work, and she was getting ready to leave and she told her manager that she felt dizzy so she was going to sit in her car. She ran into the theft sensor and laughed and then hit the door and passed out. She ended up with 5 stitches on her left eyebrow because hitting the door cut it open. They have it all on the security video too.

ETA: I just remembered that her co-workers said that her lips and face were white and she was shaking. What if it's some rare thing going around? Or it could be just pure coincidence.

And when she had her EKG done... everything came out perfect... cept they left like every single sticky thing on her lol :)

I know I know, it's my own fault... but now you're DYING!

/Kidding!

It must be a theme. One of my friends at work had this happen last month when he was at home (he actually had the seizure). They did all of the scans and tests came back perfect. I don't think he's had an episode since, but it certainly is scary.

I hope you feel better soon.
