My heartrate was unusually low (below 50), (doctors think) due to the
fact that I've been on a large dose of lopressor for 18 years. This may
have accounted for the dizzy spells. They skipped one dose of lopressor
(generic metorprolol) in the hospital and now my rate is much better
sitting and standing.
My last boss (20 years ago at Camera Clinic) "hated" doctors, hospitals
made him feel "creepy", he had "too much work to do to waste time on
that." Well, one day, employees commented that his stomach looked
swollen, he felt bad enough to go to the emergency room. 3 days later
he was dead due to extensive cancer.
Initially , I didn't want to alarm Lisa and click the start button on a
hospital visit. All I had to do was think of Sid's fate at Camera
Clinic. THAT is enough to see my cardiologist every 3 months.
A big "thank you" to all the nice responses.
