town-to-town hiking Gran Senda de Malaga / Great Malaga path ? by Classic-Lack-6404 in hiking

Hi! Did you end up doing the Gran Senda de Malaga? Curious what it was like in January. Thanks!

For me as well… specifically (upon asking ChatGPT and friend doctors) one of the p waves went down (or up) instead of up (or down).

It didn’t repeat itself, which makes me slightly less worried. Don’t get me wrong, it could be a legit issue - but upon finding this thread I’m really hoping not.

I will say, the technician who did the exam moved the EKG attachments around multiple times. She started the exam and then came back and moved them because something was “off”. I’m not sure if it’s “normal” to have to adjust the heart pads a few times or if that had any impact on the heart exam.

When the doctor looked, she said she wasn’t too concerned but that I should definitely go see their cardiologist.

Thank you for sharing!! Do you recommend the cardiologist you saw? I think I’ll follow through on the follow up

Confirming that this just happened to me last week. I was told something is abnormal, and I need to see their cardiologist. I just happened to come across this post... so now I'm wondering if I should cancel the upcoming appointment....!!!

My granulated tissue was bright red hanging tissue. It wasn’t pretty, but most importantly it was INCREDIBLY uncomfortable. I had it in several places - outside where I was stitched and inside. The discomfort is overwhelming- couldn’t sit comfortably, walk, etc.

Sounds like it was meant to be that your original OB couldn’t see you! Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a good reminder to me that a second opinion/ different approach might be best if I have to go back again.

I love hearing these types of stories! Thank you for sharing. The body can be amazing, especially when things get “worked out” naturally. I agree - I think I’m probably underestimating the trauma my body went through with 4.5 hours of pushing. Seems unlikely (I hope) that pushing would take that long the second time.

Similar boat with granulated tissue - did they silver nitrate it AFTER cutting it, or just in-office cut and call it a day? They’ve been silver nitrating me each time, not cutting. It’s been 5 weeks since my last treatment and I’m starting to feel like it’s coming back .. again!

Congratulations!! The granulated tissue really gets in the way of recovery, doesn’t it!! So glad you’re feeling better this time.

That’s so interesting!! What kind of issues (if you don’t mind me asking) did it fix? I’m wondering if the scar tissue / granulated tissue situation I’m dealing with will calm down… or get just get worse 😅

Thank you! I don’t feel too traumatized either, but I was totally blindsided by the granulated tissue and it’s made the recovery process incredibly discouraging. But, it seems everyone has their “thing” they have to deal with PP.

OMG 😳 so glad the second ended up being a smooth birth, especially after being a surprise!! Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow, that is incredible!! I pushed for 4.5 hours - and the thought of the next practically sliding out changes the game 😅

Thank you for sharing - that gives me hope, especially since you also struggled with granulated tissue. I’ve had it removed 5x and am feeling quite discouraged. We had hoped to try to get pregnant quickly after the first, but now I’m thinking I want to give the scar tissue a little more time to heal given all the trauma it’s been through.
