Hi Everyone,
I don't know why it's happening again. Lately I have been extremely tired. I always have trouble sleeping. I would wake up several times during the night. Sometimes I wonder if it's my seizures doing this to me. My doctors are still running tests on my heart. Today my doctor said I might have to start taking nitroglycerin for my heart. Seems like as we get older our bodies begin to shut down. I already have to take aspirin for my heart. In about two weeks I have some more tests for my heart. I hope that I don't get any bad news. Other then me how is everyone doing? I hope everyone is having a good week. Wish me some luck on the tests.
 
Oooo, Hawke

Good luck on your tests.

I do think you are right about our bodies shutting down as we get older. Sad, but true. Hopefully, all is right with your heart, and you won't have to take the nitroglycerin, BUT, if you have to, at least you have it available to you to help you. Look at it that way. It may be a pain in the arse, but it IS a helpful pain in the arse....... :)

Take care,

Meetz

Feels like my body has been trying to shut down all week. I can't seem to wake myself up.
 
Me Too

I am still trying to get over the cruds, and I have been so very tired for no reason all this week. The bags under my eyes are so large, they are suitcases.
Other than dealing with the cruds (allergies and whatnots) I have gone to bed the same time every day, ate the same stuff, and varied little in my routine.
Just exhausted.
 
Hi Everyone,
I have been feeling extremely tired and weak all day today. It feels like that I could fall asleep at anytime. I'm tired of feeling this way. I don't know what could be causing it. I have also been feeling dizzy all day also. It feels like I could fall and pass out at any time. I don't know if anyone has ever had this happen before. Maybe tomorrow will be better. I wish I knew what could causing it. I'm tired of this happening to me. This isn't first time that this happened to ne before. Does anyone have any answers or ideas what could causing this to me? Thanks in advance.
 
Hawke,
I had a heart attack a couple years ago right after a string of three stress related seizures in a week. I am allergic to aspirin so I am on nitro pills as needed for chest pain. My cardiologist said that because I have had GTCs for the better(or worse part) of over 30 years, they weakened my heart. Now when I have chest pain, I take a nitro pill. Most of the time it is just heart burn, but better safe than sorry as I see it.

Taking nitroglycerin tabs isn't all that bad-they are really really tiny. I even have a metal, waterproof pill case for them that I wear on my key ring so I have them as well as a separate metal pill case also on my key ring that I put extra Tegretol in just in case I am unexpectedly stranded away from home.

You take care of yourself my friend and think happy thoughts.

Peaceful hugs,
Rose
