As to the question if mom had a heart attack last night, he is not sure what really happened, but wants to get to the bottom of it either way. We went to the cardiologist today to check and he is sending her for a lot of tests. First one was this afternoon a ultrasound to determine if she had a blood clot in her leg that might have moved to her lungs. Then, Friday afternoon she will endure a chemical induced stress test. Depending on the outcome of these test the next one will be a month long monitor to see how her heart acts. If that doesn't work then a cardiac cath will be next. She woke up at 2 this morning with a crushing sensation in her chest and her heart going crazy with beats. Instead of calling me she decided to sit in her chair until it passed. I was fairly Stern with her that the next time SHE WILL CALL ME - no matter what time it is. This could be serious and she shouldn't wait. I wouldn't have known about it but I asked her this morning if she felt ok because she was dragging tushie and real groggy. That is when she told me.

So Wow, the troubles just never end. How long does he expect this investigation to take? Where her electrolytes wacky? I shall await further updates. You should know that I'll hop on down there if you need my help.
Are you still coming on Saturday?
We are planning on coming. Mom will probably be worn out from the test on Friday afternoon. They didn't do any blood work until they complete these two test. The doctor thinks this might have been a result of her irregular heartbeat but wants to know why it happened. She was really tired the next day and this worried him as well. I was suprised that they didn't admit her to the hospital.
