Dr. Ari

Friday, April 4, 2025

Janice drove me to my 12:15 p.m. appointment with Dr. Ari, who inserted my pacemaker.  After the initial tests, a nurse went over my concerns: fainting spells and chest pains.  The nurse checked the data from my pacemaker and there was nothing to indicate that I should be having chest pains.  My blood pressure was 120/60, quite low.  She looked at my medications and noticed I am quite heavy on blood pressure meds.  I might be having low blood pressure.  The nurse advised me to take my blood pressure twice daily to see if it drops, especially when I'm having fainting spells.

The nurse is sending all the information to Dr. Kostopolous, whom I will be seeing on April 24.
