Was watching one of those sort of horridly-fascinating shows last night on TV that is about hoarders, except this one is about pet hoarders. They visited a couple's house who had 24 cats. The vet who was talking to the couple and she went into the room where the catboxes were, and commented on the smell, and she had handheld meter that she set down on the floor. It measured ammonia in the air.
(I stopped sleeping on my back 3 years ago when I had a couple of episodes of waking up feeling like I was being choked). The surgeon ran a scope up my nose so he could see down my throat. He said that my thyroid is compressing my trachea and is obstructing 35% of the opening of my airway. He recommended total thyroidectomy but said it is not urgent at this time and that I can wait until it gets bigger and the symptoms get worse. He left the decision up to me.
So.... my husband's parents are hoarders and I've never been to their house but our daughter has. She's 3 years old. We have a little boy on the way and I just don't know if I want my kids going over there especially if I'm not allowed to.. Idk how bad the situation is and I know my husband is embarrassed. I've never talked to my in laws about it. They make me uncomfortable as is. I have been distant from them for the last couple months.
Assistant Called with the results first saying it was normal, then the cardiologist himself called back saying he wanted to start him on beta blockers asap because there were 96 episodes and some instances of vtach at180. Avg.125. he doesn't want to take the beta blockers. He's hesitant of being in a daily med that could cause side effects. He's maybe going to start up the anxiety meds to see if that helps.
For the last 3 years I have been experiencing what I call "episodes". When these episodes occur, it feels like I'm on a very bad drug trip. When they are severe, I can't function, and I can barely cope with anything. I have had every test imaginable, including CT scans of my brain. I was told everything was normal. The route that I was told to try was a to depressants. So, I was on Effexor, that never quite worked.
I have been having some episodes. I get dizzy and the nausea kicks in then I go to the restroom (vomitting). Afterwards I'm worn out and have cold sweats. For fear of vomitting and bringing back the horrible nausea and chills I dont eat for the rest of the day only sipping sprite. I dont have health insurance currently and cant afford a trip to the doctors. I was diagnosed with anxiety attacks about a year ago, I was taking effexor 75mg.
So I have been having somewhat frequent episodes where all the sudden I feel light headed/dizzy/close to blacking out. When it happens I feel like I'm having heart palpitations, & shortness of breath. I talked to my OB about it. When these episodes were first happening, I was standing. He said it could be from blood pooling. Makes sense except the night before my appt I had an episode while sitting down. He said maybe it was my sugar was low. I had just eaten.
But me I would just go to a family members and stay there for a bit. Hoarders have a weird attachment to their items.
I know exactly how you feel. The only rooms that aren't messy at my place are the bathrooms & the babys room lol! I work full time & when i get home I'm like why bother?.. Hopefully i get a day or two cleaning spurt & get it done!
Choking episodes at night, hoarse voice, loss of voice and breath if yawning. Blood work revealed low Vit D and Calcium levels, told to up vit D and Calcium intake. Fibro meds include Voltarin, Flexeril, Celexa and HCTZ for BP. ENT visit is sched for upcoming Monday. Questions...will they do a FNA biopsy right then and there? Pain with that? CT results are as follows:1.1 x 1.0 cm heterogeneously enhancing nodule is present in the lower pole of the right thyroid lboe.
