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.
Father in Heaven, please bring healing to Rachel and her family.
Consider anxiety, allergic reaction, and obviously any underlying health issue hitting a tipping point. Get her Vitamin D levels tested, supplementing is probably the simplest way to get her out of the woods quickly with no side effects.
When I had my heart issue, I found out the primary problems were sugar, stress, and simple carbs. Getting rid of those completely healed me in a couple years. Stop giving your body the wrong signals- whether it's food, toxic exposure, or stress, and start giving it the right signals- and it can heal itself very quickly. My resting heart rate dropped from 100 to 55.
Long-term, clean up your diet, detox, and engage with God and with nature- sunshine, feet in the grass. Stop eating processed foods, start eating whole foods and make everything from scratch that you can. Fasting is wonderful for health- and intermittent fasting combined with low carb/low sugar/keto is a good way to fix insulin resistance and lose weight without feeling hungry all the time.
Just cut eating windows from the 12-14 hours some people do (eat breakfast at 7am, have a couple snacks, sip on sugary coffee or soda, moderate lunch and eat dinner at 8pm and you're periodically releasing insulin to digest food for 14 hours/day) to 6-8 hours. Eric Berg on YouTube has some really good info on intermittent fasting and Keto.
Yes, I posted update above but main course of action going forward seems to be focused on cutting carbs, more water, more salt etc. so simple yet some of the largest consequences. Thank you for your time info and support fren!
