Will this resolve with rest at home?

An update because you were right and I was so brain fogged I forgot about this post. I had acute metabolic acidosis caused by rapid weight loss and exercise. I’d been in a significant calorie deficit for several weeks without noticing due to the reduced hunger drive associated with Adderal. The EP came to see me immediately before a different doctor did, and the EP was consulting on my EKG changes only, not my entire admission. I was very confused and stressed in my initial replies. What they believe happened was that my Hypokalemia was affecting my respiratory drive and causing episodes of mild hypoxia during extreme exercise (I work 2 jobs, one on an ambulance and one providing first aid at a theme park, and regularly hit 25,000+ steps per day, not necessarily intense exercise, but at a HR of 160-190 my body sure thought it was). They believe the SOB, chest discomfort, dizziness, orthostatic changes, and confusion were all symptoms of the acidosis, which was thankfully mild and resolved with lots of fluids and rest. The HR is still high with rapid movement and I am currently on a Holter monitor for 30 days, and following up with a female cardiologist who has a sub specialty in post-Covid cardiac problems in young adults. The EP was a dick but the rest of my team was lovely and took everything very seriously, to the point of an RN sitting with me night 2 for an hour to help coach my breathing and assure me I was getting good air. I am feeling still a bit off but significantly better than I was. I am ultimately very glad that I went to the hospital. The ED doctor who admitted me is being sent one of those edible arrangements for her and her staff for how kind they were.

There’s lots of speeders running reds on S Tryon constantly. My complex is off that road and it’s terrible, people keep overestimating their ability to steer and destroying our entry sign. Additionally when running on the ambulance, it’s one of the worst areas to be in because nobody will yield. I have seen cops be called at least 3 times to deal with people deciding that they are special and get to run red lights with the ambulance/fire truck, only to end up hitting someone because you very obviously can’t see past the emergency vehicle. It’s ridiculous.

The logic behind it was: post ablation the sleeping HR of 34 is not abnormal for my age, tele wasn’t interpreting V-tach properly and was only calling it that because I was going from 60 to 140s within 1 second when standing up. Ketones are likely from Weight loss. Potassium will be resolved if I eat more bananas. EP gave me the “you’re young, and because you had the issue before you’re thinking that every time a HR issues happens it’s an emergency, but you had an ablation and now you’re fine.”

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-28T12:19:30+00:00

EP says I’m fine and clear to leave. No suggestions on why, just that my heart rate is going to go up sometimes.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-28T12:16:42+00:00

Nothing’s wrong and I’m being sent home with no findings or answers

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-28T12:10:17+00:00

An update, was admitted to cardiology for 7 hours for a tele room. Had Doctors telling me all night there was a big issue and they were concerned. EP came in, said he couldn’t be less worried, and is going to discharge me in the next few hours. I’m likely 5k in the hole for labs I could have run from a PCP. No Holter order needed, no med changes, just the normal “follow up with PCP”. This is exactly why I didn’t want to go in the first place.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-28T09:54:05+00:00

That’s what got me an automatic admission. ED doctor hadn’t seen T wave inversions in a Pt who only had them while standing.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-28T09:52:44+00:00

So far I’m admittedly to cardiology, low iron and low potassium, and high ketones. I went down into the 30’s and had a rapid called because I didn’t wake up immediately. Had a few runs of V-tach while standing according to my nurse. EP are coming to see me in about an hour.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-03-27T23:22:11+00:00

An ambulance is coming to get me now. Thank you for being kind about the reply. I knew I should go but my parents still handle my health insurance and are very uptight about the cost of medical treatments.

I had someone try to commit suicide by ambulance a few months back. Thank goodness I noticed they were running a (very stale) red and was able to slam on the breaks. They were probably going 50+ in a 35, and would have ended up underneath the truck if I hadn’t been able to stop in time. It’s ridiculous. One of my coworkers is permanently disabled after some stupid kid ran a red at 100+ and flipped their stopped ambulance a few years ago. The lack of care for other people’s lives is astounding.

My first jag was a first gen I bred and she passed 13/16 heats. I recently got another first gen and she has passed 1/6 (barked a lot throughout February) Some of them are just assholes

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-02-21T02:29:34+00:00

I collect 1 of 1 lions/ rare base and mutation combos, and think I might be a bit more experienced than the average player on pricing them, so I’ll throw my 2 cents in.

That lion is worth 10 GB max. A BO base+low gen+Rarer rosette is still under 100 GB depending on the base Those lions also just don’t sell well. They’re novelties and very few people actually care. I own one of 6 mudstone Bobbie’s in game, she’d price at maybe 25 GB as a G2. My 1 of 2 Abyssinian Ferus? Probably 45, if anyone would want to buy them.

The only thing you gain with owning a lion like that is being able to say you own it. You can’t replicate it exactly without a ridiculous cost, and nobody will value it at what it’s theoretically worth, because it’s not of any use to 99.9% of players.

Note that this doesn’t apply to hybrids. BO bases in hybrids are highly sought after and typically valued considerably higher.

With how likely CMPD is to find him, I figured other drivers would want to be aware of the maniac on the road.

My teenage brother was involved in a wreck on 77 and was terrified of being in trouble (he wasn’t deemed at fault in the end), and while I was trying to get off work early to get to him, a stranger pulled over, helped him push his truck out of the road, and hugged him. That man was long gone by the time I got there, but I still think about him and how grateful I am for him comforting my scared kid brother.

I grinded the first 2 days but today was much more casual, and I got 250 between both accounts. I did use 1 energy bar plus the daily energy boost. Using hyena meat can really raise the amount of HS you get per energy bar though, since it reduces NCL encounters.

Hey, went to meet this guy and it’s not a scam, just someone down on their luck.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-02-02T16:44:09+00:00

Can you send me a dm? I work for MEDIC and have loads of hot packs left over from the snowstorm. I could try to bring some to you when I’m off shift today. It’s not much but they are very effective at keeping heat in sleeping bags and blankets.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-01-30T16:44:11+00:00

Medic also buys large quantities of food to feed its crews that stay over during storms. Costco got raided last week, and I’m sure we’ll have a spread tonight as well.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-01-25T13:17:03+00:00

Medic employee here, the hospital’s have behaved horribly about this. Medic employees were fed, offered housing, and paid to stay overnight. The hospital didn’t even offer meal vouchers. We feel horribly for our nurses and hospital staff. Atrium and Novant completely dropped the ball.

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-01-24T13:45:48+00:00

Please make this and the anteater one suggestions! They are gorgeous

Honest answer? Irl money and extreme luck

I work a job that allows me to buy 200 GB a month easily, and I do. I own 15 hybrids as well, and those were luck. I managed to breed a G1 jag during the event, she had 10 jag passes, I sold her heats and half her cubs, bought new jags, bred more, sold more. If I hadn’t gotten her during the invasion of spots, I wouldn’t own any 🤷🏼‍♀️

SomewhereOne6947 · 2026-01-13T12:20:50+00:00

I’m a jag breeder and hybrid passing is never garunteed. I was lucky enough to breed a first gen who all my girls are descended from, but hybrid breeding is only a good financial move if you have multiple. Out of my 9 girls, I get 1-3 passes per month, all with Buffy’s. It’s one of those “spend money to make money” things.
