Thread: Hey Guys I Have A Question!!!!!

my mom had to go for an ekg yesterday.she says her heart is skipping a beat.what could that be? i am pretty scared, i don't want to lose my mom.she means the world to me.she just told me today.she hasn't gotten the results back,but i am wondering what it could be?she has been under a lot of stress from my father as of late.their marriage is probably going to be ending soon.my dads a great guy but the more he ages the more grumpy,arrogant,and annoying he gets.my mom and i cannot take it anymore,but anyway back on the subject. what could it be?besides stress related issues.and do you think it could hurt my mom or kill her??i am like freaking out so someone calm me down and assure me its nothing.

relax paul im not gonna go public will you be home tonight ill call yuo and tell you about it on my way to work

it could be a heart murmmer

exactly i work in the er in the city i see that all the time paul if you could get a copy of the ekg and send it i can read it and tell you what i think if you woudl like

my mom has a mummer but she says its been acting weird like she has butterfly's in her chest

could be anxiety from stress and she is having heart palpations they make you feel like your going to die but they are harmless

I know you are concerned, but hang in there until she gets the results back. Stress and anxiety can cause that. My mother had symptoms like that for 40 years. Went to numerous doctors for tests. She's still alive and well.

your mom is still alive, jhb?
she must be pretty healthy then
( no offense...heh )

that stinks paul, hope shes well

Keeeerist man, I'm not that old...

thank you guys.i am hoping for the best.i feel a little better.she is getting a holter monitor. she has to wear it for 24 hours.just keep your fingers crossed.thats for the support guys

Im sorry i have nothing to say eccept, that sucks hope your mom is ok for a long time.

thanks dude.

My mom had heart surgery a few years back, she's doing fine too.

Don't worry too much until you know anything about the test results. And even then, don't worry. Worrying doesn't do anything for you except build anticipation for anguish.

I'm really sorry to hear about your parents too. This is a tough time for you, but just hang in there and keep your wits about you. There will be better times soon.

My grandma is having some seriose heath problems right now so i can kinda relate.

it could be panic/anxiety attacks which can usually be controlled with medication and could be a temporary thing...since she's under alot of stress right now over your dad, chances are that could be exactly what's up...I used to have them a several years ago and from what you've said, it sounds similar to what I experienced...

I took the medicine, they went away, and I havent had one in a few years now...I used to get stressed out really easily and apparently now I just dont give a damn so much

at any rate, good luck to the both of you

thanks luke.yeah hopefully that is it man.she just sprung it on me today so i was all freaking out and what not.i feel a tad bit better now though.
