Needing prayers.

[Vjcvette]

please excuse my failure to respond earlier. Mrs. AV continues to feel the palpitations and said she got so anxious driving across town a couple of days ago that she felt she would faint. It's hard to believe all of this because I often say she was a trucker in a previous life.

On Monday,she faces an extreme test as she plans to drive to Trussville (about an hour away) so that i can have a spinal procedure that was postponed in July.
More on that and the meds caffeine and nicotine later.
Take care , AV

Yes palpitations can be scary especially when you are driving and I too have had them while driving years ago and felt faint also and it was very scary, but that was about 8 years ago before i was diagnosed with afib and I was still smoking and drinking coffee, cokes and tea, but now I still drink all of that but it is all decaf and of course I had to quit smoking, so now i have very few episodes of palpations and the anxiety of having them while driving has now left, oh and also no more chocolate, but I can eat caramel and also white chocolate because it is not really chocolate.....no cocoa beans in it. I just have to be careful and watch ingredients in foods and drink. I also love coconut water and I used to buy this certain brand and I felt like it could have had cafine in it after I drank it and sure enough when I looked at the ingredients in it, one of the ingredients was green coffee beans. So even it you do take a heart rhythm med like felicalide (which they prescribed for me but after reading the warnings I did not take it), I still do not know if it would stop the effects of cafine with afib because my Mother took more medicine for afib than I do and if she would forget and eat a chocolate chip cookie with the dark chocolate in it (Which
would be the most potent as far as afib is concerned) i would have to take my Mother to the hospital after she ate the cookie or also she loved almond joy bars and would slip up and eat one, and she would have to get an IV to get her heart back in rhythm, anyway I hope that maybe this info can maybe help Mrs. AV.

My dad could use some prayers. I've held off for a while saying anything, and still not on Facebook. They're concerned with prostate cancer, have been for a bit. His numbers were high earlier in the year, and he's went back several times to be checked, and they keep getting higher. His dr sent him to Knoxville for an mri, and they found spots on his prostate. He hasn't heard directly from his dr, has an appointment next week, but they tried to schedule him for a biopsy after the mri. He said he wanted to talk to the dr first. It is possible that it's all from infection, or enlarged prostate from what I've googled, but there's also a high possibility that it is cancer. Just say a prayer for him if you would.

Sympathies for your Dad. Urge him to get the biopsy. If his MRI shows any swelling in his nearby lymph nodes, he needs a PET scan.

Think I need you to coach up MrsAV

Today was third straight day that she thought she was becoming unglued while driving, and this is the person who was usually driving me and other folks home after concerts and late nights at clubs, not to mention being the driver for nearly every elementary and jr hi field trip

Tomorrow, she'll be seeing cardiologist whose specializes in pulmonary issues to seek reason for heart palpitations and and panic. Caffeine has been a past problem. She only drinks 1 cup of coffee a day (she cuts every pot in half with decaf) - and ,goes very ez on chocolate. The kicked the Salems after becoming pregnant. She is extremely sensitive to medication and will cut the lowest mg of xanax in half. Wine was her go to and no wclaims that it is doing nothing for her moods

Well even just a little bit of chocolate or just a little bit of cafine can be a culprit, try to go to all decaf and Carmel and white chocolate and see if the palpitations slow down.

I get them when I eati pasta/pizza - chocolate - or a dessert - was never tested for AFib though - they blamed it on anxiety and gave me lowest dose of xanax

Well hopefully you don't have afib, now pizza or pasta has never bothered my afib and I eat a lot of pasta.
