发帖数: 89 | 1 我妈妈最近会突然失去知觉1-2分钟，心脏跳动极不规则，事发前会觉得胸闷。但是等到了医院看上病，心电图又测不出什么异常。我们预约了下周一去做24小时的监测。但是这两天她一天都能晕上两三次，我们觉得不能这样干等。大家有人知道我妈妈可能得的是什么病吗？感激不尽。
还有，她现在在国内，我们刚给她办了绿卡不久。我们想把她接到美国来，有人知道怎么申请医疗保险吗？ | t*******n

发帖数: 89 | 3 谢谢tsiaojian。会是血液,神经,和心理的什么原因？我妈妈很乐观的人。说心跳不规
则，也是我爸拿听诊器听的，不是觉得。而且晕的时候也没有什么特别的地方，散步，
吃饭，睡前，都会突然发生。

发帖数: 89 | 4 做了24小时心电图和彩超。说既有房颤，又有心动过缓和停跳，所以医生现在用非常保
守的药，建议装起搏器。我们那是小地方。与其到北京上海做，不如到美国这边做，至
少子女都在身边。请教，坐飞机安全吗？我妈开始治疗后倒是没有停跳（那个有可能是
她吃的治高血压的药引起的）。

if 房颤 is atrial fibrillation, and she also has significant bradycardia,
like high grade av-block, then she might have sick sinus syndrome, then i
would think she need a pacer sooner than later,

发帖数: 89 | 6 Thanks, gomer. Yes, from what I googled based on her conditions, sick sinus
syndrome seems to be the term. Is there any particular kind of pacer for it?
I plan to fly her to the US next week --- just as you said, sooner than
later. How high is the risk for her to travel?
Also what do you think about the ablation treatments (消融术)?
I am tied to internet these days for information. Thank you so much.

sinus
it?
quite a few patients with sick sinus syndrome, they have this alternating
brady-tachy arrhythmia, and the tachy arrhythmia is often afib, that causes
sinus node remodeling, and when the rhythm is changing from afib to sinus,
there will be a prolonged pause, during which period the patient may have
symptoms, such as passing out; then in that case radiofrequency ablation may
help avoid the pacer,
keep in mind if she is symptomatic from other conditions, such as high grade
av block, i do

发帖数: 89 | 8 Thanks a lot for the warmhearted help from this board, especially gomer.
An update: My Mom had a DDDR type pacemaker installed. She is on low dose of
metoprolol (25mg daily). As far as I understand, medicines for afib do not
eliminate afib except for slowing down overall heart beat. Is it right? It
is a miracle that her afib also goes away (from the telemetry exam) since
her procedure a week ago! Is it known that a pacemaker sometimes can help
improve afib?
I tried to read the pacemaker manual,
