UPDATE

Ok all...thanks for all the concerns. I was hospitalized from wednesday to Sunday. I am no recouping at my parents house. So here it goes I am not sure I even know what is going on yet.....So I go to Primary doctor my resting heartrate is in the 100's so they admit me. I am seen by all my cardiologist and a pulmonary specialist. I do you have a respitory infections however I was also experience atrium afibs up to 160-180 so they decide to shut off my top lead to see if it is causing it. So then I am also experining bradytachacrdia...SORRY I have no idea how to spell. So they put my on 360mg of cardiozem to slow my heartrate. I went into the hospital on 2 meds I am now on 9 (OMG) I go back to the cardiologist tomorrow. My pacer is only supposed to be there for back up but I am pacing 20% of the time so something is going on....still not to the bottom of it ;-( Good news is I am not in hospital bad news is I still can not take care of my kids and almost a month later think this pace maker thing is a real downer

I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for pacemakers. I've had mine for 35+ years. I was fainting all of the time and had flat-lined also. I feel very blessed to live in this time of technology.
