So I'm Posting This Hoping That It Will Be Shared.

So I'm posting this hoping that it will be shared. I need to find somebody else that is going through or has been through what my mom is going through right now. She has not been feeling well since last September. She had a lot of pressure in her head. Thinking it was a severe sinus infection, she was on antibiotics. After a few weeks it was worse and she couldn't take more than a few steps without getting light headed. Went back to hospital and had a stent put in. Went home the next day. After 2 weeks no improvement. If she laid flat her face would turn purple also. Ended up back in hospital. Blood pressure very low and gets lower when she walks. So low she passes out. Heart beat was low too. So they gave her a pacemaker. Throughout all this she was also retaining fluid. Almost 3 weeks after getting the pacemaker there is still little improvement. Blood pressure is better but she still can't walk much. She passed out again on Saturday from walking. She said that before she passes out her neck gets very cold.She also has no appetite. She can usually eat an ok breakfast, but lunch and dinner not much at all. And is always tired. And cold. She still purple when she lays flat. She is still retaining a lot of fluid. So much that her pants don't fit. She is getting very depressed and doesn't do any of the things she loves. I just want to see and hear her happy again. All we keep hearing from dr's is that they are adjusting the meds. I'm trying to be patient but there has to be a reason for this. If anyone has experienced anything like this please message me. We are worried about our mom and just want her well. Please share so maybe somebody reading this can help her. Also keep up with the prayers. We are really praying for a miracle!
