My wife just rushed to hospital, resting heart rate at 130, red skin, out of breath, misremembering things and stumbling. We’re both unvaxxed and under 35. I’m home watching our son, trying not to freak the fuck out! Any prayers or words of comfort are appreciated; this woman is my entire world, I’m scared shitless and don’t know what to do and have no where else to turn….I just want help. We’ve tried so hard to push through all the bullshit but now this happens—I’m so close to breaking frens, help me please.
Update: still in hospital. CTs, MRI, EKG, US all negative for any clots or embolisms. Doctors still aren’t sure what’s causing it- best working guess so far is POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) which is an excessively reduced amount of blood returning to the heart when moving from laying to sitting to standing. BP and heart rate still spiking anytime she has to get up. Pumping fluids and electrolytes and looking into starting a beta blocker until her OBGYN can assess hormone levels. Heart monitor hooked up for next cpl weeks. Home/bed rest until then. Not a whole lot of info or treatment for it so we just have to wait and see for now.
Rachel is her name. She has been fighting anxiety for a long time and lately it just seems to be catching up to us, lots of other personal/family struggles recently, I’m hoping that is all it is but I’ve never seen like she was. We don’t rally have any family close by and no real friends- her mother drove down and took her and will swap with me soon if she’s not better.
I had my first panic attack at about this age. My heart rate was 180. Stress does some crazy stuff. Try not to worry. Does her mom have a smart phone? Perhaps you could do a zoom call and check in. Let her know all is well at home, your son is resting peaceably and just her know you love her. You'll get a better feel for how she is doing and perhaps you'll feel better. If you can't concentrate or have nervous energy, put that energy to use doing small things that would reduce her stress when she comes home. Do dishes, pick up the toys or throw a load of laundry in. Exercise! Many prayers for you and your family as you move through this difficult time.
Thank you fren, I actually did just that bc I didn’t know what else to do: laundry, toys, dishes and trash, idk why but it did seem to help, if only to take my mind away for a moment. They just did a CT scan to check for an embolism after a recent procedure she had. Just waiting now. Thank you for your time and kind support.
I understand you on the addiction from fear of failure/preemptive refusal to try. Luckily she’s always been better in that regard, but we both def have to clean up our diets and minds. I will look into those supplements you mentioned. Thank you fren.

Yeah 130 is not bad. My dad fainted and his heart rate was 170 when EMT’s made it there. It was shortly after a vaccine but definitely not related. Also it’s been awhile, what is the status? Sending positive vibes fren.
Yea that in its own wouldn’t really have worries me, it was the whole combo of symptoms that threw me for a loop. It has spiked a few times up 170 just from her trying to walk across the hospital room to the bathroom, scary.

So sorry. How frightening. Please get The Mood Cure book. You can help her so much with the amino acids. Speaking from experience!! Meds the establishment put her on if so are not the lifetime answer. Also get the low dose Lithium Orotate mineral supplement. Again, from experience. All this to get control over spiraling emotions. Once upon a time I was pretty much nuts from sweeping panic sttacks and anxiety. No more, and no prescriptions either.
If she’s struggled with anxiety for a long time, you should consider mycotoxins/metals/chemicals as a root cause contributor along with parasites. It’s common for people to suddenly develop psychological issues after being exposed to these substances, having no prior mental health issues. Psychological issues cannot be separated from physiology, and parasites and toxins are notorious for altering the mental state.
Actions you can take are finding a doctor who can order you a total tox burden Panel from Vibrant wellness labs that measures these toxins. Then get on a protocol with a doctor that knows how to detox pains, pathogens, emotions, energies, and traumas.
2 doctors that do this very well are Dr. George Stanton of Prairie Sage Health and Dr. Jaban Moore of Redefining Wellness Center. Also look in Cellcore Biosciences and Microbe Formulas supplement line. They are designed for detox and parasite eradication.
