Its important not to let the heart rate above 120s to 130s go without medical advice. You heart is beating like your exercising and it needs to rest at some point. I sure would let someone run some tests sooner rather than later.

Hi Charlene,
Well these inspiring stories make me a little sad. This is so new and raw for me. I absolutely love my job as a pediatric home health nurse, caring for medically fragile children with mental and physical disabilities. I was diagnosed finally after almost a year of being sick and missing alot of work. So Jan. 2018 to July 2018 things got so bad and I was hospitalized in July and have never been able to go back. I’m home on o2 and can’t maintain 90% with any exertion. My company has extended insurance as long as possible. My FMLA ran out last week. The main thing is that I just can log around o2 and do the job needed. Special permission would have to be granted by the patient’s families just to have o2…they basicly don’t know what to do with me. All the kids or the families also exposes me to illness…. Etc. I’m not really well enough to work without restrictions, but may not be ill enough for social security insurance. I’m in limbo. I have 20 thousand dollars in student loans for nursing, and was registered for classes this semester to continue my education… Which I had to cancel back in August because I knew it would be so much walking it would be too much. I don’t know what I’m doing. But I am thankful to find a group of people to talk to about this. Thanks for reading.
