Wow, A-fib can be some scarry stuff. Glad you converted.

Now for those smokes—I’m not gonna preach…but when you’re ready, check out the laser treatment–It worked for me. Over 2 1/2 years smoke free.

Glad to hear everything is OK. Being in the hospital for any reason so matter how big or small is scary for any loved ones. Keep healthy.

You scared me but now I am too relieved that you’re okay!

Please take good care of your self with all restrictions! I do not think any addiction can be more important than anyone’s life. So plz follow what ever doc says.

You are in my prayers!

Good ol’ A-Fib. I’ve been dealing with that for the last two years myself. It’s scary! Fortunately I live with a nurse, and when it happened one night in her presence, she called 911 and got the paramedics involved. They’re the golden ticket to get into the ER first in line and to get readings done immediately. They discovered the A-fib immediately, and I began seeing a cardiologist the next day. I’m on two different medications for it, but it’s under control, and I haven’t had an episode in over a year now.

Now quit smoking!

@Everyone: Thanks for the concern! I feel much better now that I know what I am dealing with, and how to keep it from returning. Now if I can just follow the docs and your advice I will be OK…

@Chuck: I think knowing that I am not crazy and that a doctor got to see my heart going crazy was a bigger relief than getting the crazy beating to stop. Knowing is half the battle…

Whoa! I’m happy to hear you’re ok. It must be kinda nice to know the doc’s can quit thinking your some kinda hypochondriac eh.

As we used to say once upon a time, “I want to hear FROM you not ABOUT you”. Take care!
