Hello again

I thought I would update you with whats happening here in the good old uk lol

The consultant cardiologist telephoned me this evening (something I was told they never do) by one of the good old British Rottweiler secretaries…… he told me I had vasovagal syncope and would fit me with an implantable loop recorder, would see me sooner than my planned appointment in December for treatment (don’t know how without knowing what is causing it), and didn’t even mention PoTS! Does this sound pretty standard?

thank you for your hugs… really need them, just had a really funny turn, felt hot, sick and shook uncontrollably, my alivecor ecg monitor was all over the place….. had a terrible pain in my left arm and the left side of my neck and left me with an awful taste in my mouth after it subsided… lasted over half an hour….

look forward to hearing from you and hope this message finds you well

kind regards

Heather UK

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
