Sinus Tachycardia (by alaric)
The nurses there were lovely. And they asked me if I wanted a job, since I ran around doing menial things like dealing with bedpans and so on myself once I knew what to do, to save them the effort. I like being useful.
Then this morning, the specialists came in and said they couldn't really find anything wrong, apart from the fact that her rest pulse varied from 95-130bpm. Everything else was just perfect. So she was let out and told not to do anything that made her breathless... which currently excludes walking for more than a minute or so!
They concluded that the baby was getting sufficient oxygen for everything, though... which is good.

So glad it worked out - all those tests at least confirm that all else is well.
Hope the worry did not get Sarah down - she was very brave to make it all the way to Courthope Road. It was lovely to see you both and I hope the "sitting machine" is still helping.

Dear Sarah and Alaric, The rain has come at last so I can stay in and look at an e.mail it sounded very sinister the "cardiac" bit and just didn't dare to look last night. I thought perhaps it was something to do with your father. The photo of you in bed is very graphic but I'm greatrly releivced to know they have let you out and say it's all OK but what a worry for you both. I hope I'm doing the right thing filling in this comment. I will make contact again on Monday after the BT chap has been. Lots of love to you both, B

was wondering if I can have your permission to use copy of EKG in an article on tachycardia in Air Medical journal. No names / information involved, image would be illustrative of tachycardia.
