Thank you sundog.

The order went like this:

Feb 20 - overdose. It was during this time that i was barely concious but heard someone (a doctor, i presume) tell me 'you may have damaged your heart, your ecg is abnormal). This was in emergency department. I was then admitted to psych ward (well, once i was stabilized and they did only knows what before hand) i did confirm a few days later with the psychiatrist that this is indeed a possiblity and i didn't just imagine someone saying that. They said yes. Being a psych ward, though, they are not a medical ward, so basically told to follow up with GP on discharge.

Last week, epival stayed at same dose as it's been for months, the increase was supposed to happen TODAY, so they sent me last week for b/w for a recent baseline of liver function to compare to impending increase. Still have not taken 750mg, though i do have rx for it. It was at today's apt that they said, 'ummmm... we're pretty concerned about your labs...' but they figured it was epival related.

Then i get home and decide to look up 'serious' symptoms of liver malfunction as i forgot to ask. Came across the heart failure thing and voila! PANIC!

Then took bp in midst of panic, just to see. I have, btw, had my bp taken in a dr office DURING an attack and it was 192/107, my heartrate was 130-140 (can't remember exactly) Today, like i said, nada. Even my heartrate was normal.

Another reason i am worried (NOW anyway!) about the heart thing is because i WAS on 750mg epival for 2 months in the hospital and my liver enzymes still never went above 62ish! And suddenly, a month after the 'you may have damaged your heart' thing, on only 500, it multiplies by 5-6X above normal?!?! EEK!

Tomorrow can't come soon enough!
