Comment on Can you eat soap for acid reflux?
jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 day agoMy heart actually did stop in the hospital… after the 2nd heart attack. I was asleep and had no clue until the nurse came in the room.
6AM, wake up, waiting on a stent, fiddling around on my phone. Nurse comes in.
“Were you asleep about an hour ago?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”
“Ummm… thank you? I don’t know how to respond to that.”

Wow. That’s amazing. And terrifying. I hope you’re doing better now.

It’s been a struggle. I got the stent, still having trouble with my heart just stopping randomly. 4 seconds here, 5 seconds there, always when I’m asleep. Docs say it’s not concerning unless it happens when I’m awake, so I have an implanted heart monitor that calls out on my phone if there’s a problem.
There were problems with my meds that made me pass out from low blood pressure. Scared the hell out of the docs one day when I hit 58/47 in their office.
“Honest, I assure you I HAVE blood pressure, I’m sitting here talking to you, right?”
“Yeah, we don’t know how you’re doing that!”
