Thanks Lynne!

You and Gary are in my prayers and in my heart Gayle. Thank goodness he has you with all of your knowledge and your good, good heart. It must be scary for both of you.

I'm sending you hugs.

Called the heart doc this morning, they didn't think it was heart - thought it was lung problems, so we got into see the lung doc. They thought he might have a blood clot in his lung, so we spent five hours at the hospital getting checked for that - it was negative. That is good, but we don't know what the heck is wrong.

We'll be trying to get back into the heart doc tomorrow. Gary is fine at rest, but when he walks or tries to do something, he has no energy at all. Very strange.

Thanks for keeping us posted, Gayle. I hope that you find out what's causing the problem.

Gayle, so glad he did get to see a doctor, even though you still don't have the answers and treatment if needed.

Thank you for the update. I think that many of us are concerned and are keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

By just what you've described...it does sound like some kind of blockage somewhere doesn't it? Gayle I'll keep you and Gary in my prayers. Hopefully they can find what is causing it and get it resolved.

Thanks for all your support, guys! It means so much to me.

Gary and I spent the day in the cardiologist's office - only to find no cause for the difficulty in breathing episodes he had last Thurs and Sat. He had blood work, EKG, echocardiogram, and they looked at his pacemaker readout (he has a computer in his pacemaker that shows every heart beat, so they can see if he has an irregular beats, which he did not).

We did find out that he is a bit dehydrated, which is why he is feeling so dizzy and tired right now. That is good that we know what is causing him to feel that way, and that we can fix it. But he is frustrated that they can't tell him exactly what happened to cause him to suddenly feel like he coudn't breathe. Being in health care, I know that sometimes you just don't know why something happens in the human body, there is no explanation. This seems to be one of those times.

The doctor thinks he will feel much better once we get him re-hydrated! I think so too!
