[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 456137, member: 1991"] I only just saw this - Step gave me a heads up. HD, I hope he's okay. Given the thumbnail sketch history you gave, I'm betting he has multiple arterial blockages, possibly including the kidney. A lowered BiPolar (BP) from bradycardia might have reduced renal perfusion also. Just a thought. So when the heart gets back under control, the kidney issue may at least partly resolve. Both kidneys - sounds like perfusion to me. You did the right thing getting him to the hospital when you did. Chances are, getting him there much faster may still have not been fast enough - by the time he felt that level of chest pain, the damage may have already been done. The pain was probably a sign of the cardiac hypoxia and it really doesn't take long for heart muscle to be damaged. If this damage means his heart needs help contracting, they may suggest a pacemaker to keep it in line. As you're a nurse, you don't need me to tell you any of this. I had to chuckle at your comments about hypochondria. I remember reading once, a hypochondriac's epitaph - "I TOLD you I was sick!" The thing is, you did react, you did get him the help. And the hospital sounds like they did a really good job, including that student nurse. Hats off to them. Look after yourself, get sleep when and where you can. The cleaning can go hang in the meantime. Right now, your health is more important. Someone's got to stay healthy! Hugs. Marg (and Marg's Man, I was just discussing it with him, he sends his thoughts and prayers also). [/QUOTE]
