- being a diabetic and finding restrictions.to life style. people who do not understand the problems one has. not being able to afford to come back to uk for holidays as often, quite expensive. miss some foods that the French do not do. but can live with that French drivers. who love to tail gate. and they love to drive over the white line. in rural areas they are a pain. but get use to it. does put the wind up you. But driving in the UK found that drivers want to get as close as they can. and the traffic. it took me 25 minutes to get to friends house which was less then a mile away. due to traffic.
I posted a desperate help plea. the results.
thank you for input............ but my hypo was not the case........... had a heart attack. nothing to do with a hypo. as thought. did as you all suggested phone ambulance. was referred to my doctor. found that This suspected hypo was not. it was a heart attack.
Rushed to hospital. and was sent to Lyon France for Stent. then back again to local hospital. and then to cap it all had to have apacemaker fitted. Heart was beating well below normal rate. they Fitted stent in heart. and and then pacemaker. as heart was working overtime, max beats was between 30 and 40 beats.
I really thought it was to do with with my diabetic condition. felt faint, shakey, pain, sweaty, and very unsteady on feet. went to be, and stayed there till I contacted you all on the Monday, and you suggested contacting a ambulance. I did they referred me to my doctor. who checked my pulse, and informed e tht I had a heart attck nothng to do with my diabetic.
Home now, feeling ok, as far as it goes
Never in a million years did I think it was anything to do with my heart, but they said that because I have fiberlating heart that misses a beat, ittook over and caused the heart attack. that was a bolt from the blue.
They sent me off paramedics, hospital and had the stent in heart and a couple more stents. as they said my arteries were closing. This was caused thru radiotherapy. they said it cures the cancer but damages the heart. that was a blow too. surprised as I was unaware of ay problems. always had a heart that missed a beat and was on aheart tablet. anyway. never had a problem.
The doctors. informed me that I was lucky. and now I have apacemaker. so we shall see. if my heart rate improves. and I am sure it will. just sitting and doing nothing.
I have to say if you are going to be ill come et France, they do not mess around here. straight in .....sent to a clinic, stent fitted. and 2 days later pacemaker. I was in hospital for 2 weeks. let me out last Friday, that was under protest. could not stand the food. they agreed. so waiting now for next appointment. October 14 th
Feel ok. just so lucky.
The doctors said the following: Please note.
When ever you get a pain anywhere in the chest area. call the paramedics. it might be a false alarm. but do not think it is always indigestion. it must be checked. They were most insistent. that this should happen. and they proved right. with me. My doctor new straight away it was aheart attack.
I am hoping that time will be a healer. and that I can get back to a normal heart beat and back on track.
So do not suppose, as we all did. it is or was a hypo when you have pain !!!!!!.
Thank you all but needed to inform you of my results. glad to be back.
