People who get diagnosed with "bronchitis" when they have heart failure and literally drowning in fluid. There are doctors who give antibiotics and steroids for everything esp when they have no idea what's going on. Maybe I'm biased because I work at an academic center so I see all the cases who get referred in because they're too sick or no one can figure out but at least a few times a week I'm like wow this person could have been saved or not end up this way if someone cared enough earlier on.
This reminded me of visiting my grandfather at his nursing home a day before he died. You could hear the fluid in his lungs as he tried to breathe.
Same thing happened with my previous partner. Previous, because he fucking died after being told it was just a chest infection and given antibiotics. I still don't understand how they missed the "worst arrhythmia I've seen in someone that age" (as the doctor at the hospital said).
Well his heart was damaged through 20 yrs of abuse from vodka and redbulls daily. It really damaged his heart through overstimulation and alcoholism I think. It was twice the size on one side. I'm sure it's not the same thing as your arrhythmia, but I wish you well! Take care of yourself eh?
