Sometimes its a slow heart rate can be more of a problem than a fast one.
If Faerie is experiencing any other symptoms like numbness or pain in the jaw or shoulder area on either side or sweating at rest for no reason she should go to the ER and demand they address a possible heart attack and have them hook her up to a monitor.
I hope its just anxiety and Faerie feels much better soon!

Err... I told them i was having neck/arm pain and...i guess i didn't say shoulder pain but its def in my shoulder.
they asked me if i was having a fever
not if i was sweaty
but i am definitely sweaty, but the hospital was so cold i stopped sweating?
i was hooked up to a heart rate and bp machine for a long time
idk what numbers mean but it was something like 130/80 (and I'm on a hbp medication but a low dose before bed only)
:(
I was kinda out of it after the morphine but i do remember glancing over and it had dropped to 90 or so/72
-.-; they really didn't seem concerned about anything but my bp
and my bp was...fine I think when I wasn't in pain anymore
90/70 or so is "normal" i think.
and they didn't actually tell me to stop using my vape, but looking over the paperwork now it told me to stop
:(
blargh
why don't doctors actually review stuff w/ patients?
upon further evaluation its some blah blah blah about quitting smoking -.-
man these things are so alarmist
my bp was high even when i hadn't smoked for over a week
it was still high after waiting hours to get an ekg
*groggy cos i just woke up sorry if this is a mess to read*
