I had a pacemaker implant don t the end of February, there were complications and I had a second thoracic surgery done within 48 hours to connect two leads to the left ventricle. Immediately after that second surgery I began having a low grade fever, dry cough, weakness, and shortness of breath. My doctor s have told me that my heart and the pacemaker are working fine and they don t know why I m continuing to have these problems. They had me on a Z pack of antibiotics with no results and the latest was a high dose pack for 6 days of a steroid. While on the steroid I felt fantastic and thought my life was going back to normal but after the last pill within two days I was right back to the fevers, weakness, cough, and shortness of breath. I need some answers as my family leave will be over in about three weeks. I ve told the doctors this and that at that time I will lose all medical insurance and income, they just don t seem to care and tell me that it might be another two to three months before I start feeling better.
