After she sat down, her breathing was so labored you could hear it in her speech.  I felt terrible for her.  I hope she's feeling better soon!

My heart gets irregular every so often and it is scary.  I lke Carolyn a lot and hope she is okay.  Prayers go out for her.

The erratic heartbeat is possibly atrial fibrillation.  I have that occasionally and it does make me breathless and is very uncomfortable.  The medicine I was put on last year has really helped mine.  I hope Carolyn will be OK, she has been through a lot with the cancer treatments and all.

I didn't see this, but every time I tune in someone is out sick.  Maybe these guys are taking turns being sick.  Ugh.

NAT:  Not necessarily atrial fibrillation which is a very serious condition, requires medication and oftentimes pacemakers and defibrillators.  Illness can cause one to have sinus tachycardia and that can lead to palpitations and that seemed, to me, what she might have been having.  She was definitely in some distress.  I have PVCs when I am sick but because of long-term asthma, suffer from sinus tach.

Re: carolyn--please go rest!

Sometimes happens when we have allergies/allergic to something in the air.  Could be fluttering of the lungs, breathing, etc., and not the heart.  Slightly similar as someone mentioned here re: her asthma.  Well, best to be checked by a doc, as I have done. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Re: carolyn--please go rest!

From Carolyn's FB page:

 

I want to thank you ALL for your well wishes and concern yesterday when I had to step off the air a bit early during my 11am Denim and Co show. (A big thanks to Rachel Boesing for coming to my rescue!) Since my surgery, I sometimes get suddenly overly tired and need to stop what I am doing for a few minutes. This is usually because I've been over-doing it!! I have never been one to lounge around, as I'm sure you know! I am absolutely fine, however, and I don't want you to worry one bit! I'll make sure to slow it down and get more rest..promise! XOXOXO

Carolyn may have A-fib, so should see a specialist in this field.

Re: carolyn--please go rest!

After being ill for a few months, including a couple of surgical procedures, I can totally relate to Carolyn's condition. After overdoing it, I also get very tired and subsequently short of breath. However, my oxygen level is fine. It is an effect of being fatigued. Sounds like we have a lot of armchair doctors out there. Let's let Carolyn handle her condition herself. I am pretty sure that she is still under doctors care.
