Because of my body's reaction during surgery, I may have to undergo genetic testing or muscle cell testing for malignant hyperthermia at the Toronto General Hospital.
If I carry the mutation that causes this fatal reaction to general anesthetic then my children are at risk, and must undergo genetic testing.
I was informed that the results can take months and in the mean time I could not ever be administered a general anesthetic. There would be an alert placed on my health card and I need to get a medical alert bracelet.
This contributed to more anxiety and more stress. I had already inherited a heart defect that is extremely rare, what are the chances that the same person would also inherit a second rare condition?
Malignant hyperthermia, WPW what else~!
