Hi my Prims,
I am posting this to ask you all to pray for our younger son, Matt.
He has been having chest pain, and his heart has been racing. I called the heart doctor and they took him in right away yesterday. They did a EKG and a chest X-RAY, He told the doctor what has been happening,fluttering in his chest that can be so scary, it has woken him up at night, shortness of
bresth,very dizzy and the doctor knew what it was it is called (SVT)
Supraventricular Tachycardia it is not common for an 18 year old in teens period. It is in the bottom of his heart chamber that is pumping blood through and can't. He is wearing a heart montior and he has had 4 attacks since yesterday. Matt does suffer from anixety and does take medication for it and the doctor said it isn't the medication he is taking for his anixety, the poor kiddo.
The doctor and the team sat us down and said in this case surgery would be what needs to be done because this can be dangerous. They will go in and burn off that chamber and this should fix the problem. They want a few good reads on the machine and they gave him a medication to help the fluttering but it isn't working because he doesn't have what my husband has A FLIB, and the doctor did say it might not work.
So I am asking if you my prayer warriors please pray for our son.
My husband and I are both in shock, he is just so young like the doctor said.
We have been through so much in the past couple of years but when it comes to your children and I don't care how old they are you want to take their place.
Blessings friends,
Tricia

Prayers are said, and try not to worry, I know how it is I am a Mom too, but my son went through the same thing, and we had ultrasounds done on his heart, monitors, the works, try not to be afraid; for my son it was indeed anxiety, and the heart pounding was waking him up at night too, which I never thought anxiety could do, I also noticed that it happened most often before a meal, and after a meal he was better.We did the trips to the er, ekg's, and the heart recorder/monitor thing is very accurate, they will catch exactly what it is, and most of these conditions are bothersome but benign. Keep calm and carry on lol, and I've been there... my son eventually improved, but still has episodes,..once and a while.
ReplyDeleteI'll pray for him. He is so young but good that you caught it now. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteOh Tricia how scary, Matt is on my prayer list and will stay there. Please keep us updated.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you all
Hugs

ReplyDeleteVery scary! Prayers!
ReplyDeleteOh Tricia - I'm so sorry to hear about Matt's heart problems - it is very scary for such a young man. As if you don't have enough to deal with. :-( My hubby has Tachycardia from time to time so I can understand a bit how your feel, although his has never needed medication or surgery...just scary to hear his heart racing so fast. I'll pray hard for your son and for your family - Sending big HUGS to you dear. My heart goes out to you. :-( Keep me posted...

This is very scary, if you are able, it may be good to get a 2nd opinion? On the chance there may be a less invasive technique? Such a hard time. Peace be with you all! ~*~Lisa
ReplyDeleteTricia, this is so scary. I would be in shock too. I will be praying that all goes well and that the doctors can be inspired to know how to best help your son. -Steph-
