Heart Rate

[ArmatageShanks]

So I landed up in hospital this week, heart was all over the place, in the bush, so GP got cardio on the line from the Capital and they stabilized me over the phone. But the GP explained exactly this to me. High risk of blood clots forming due to blood going stagnant and causing a stroke. As I lay there, a drip on the one arm, ecg on my chest, the nurses were pointing to my chest as you could physically see my heart bouncing around…

I felt like crap! They put me on Seven different pills, stuff to thin me blood to prevent clotting and placed me under observation. Guess the bender this weekend was not a good idea.

I was released with a big bag of meds, Have a ecg app in the morning and will be in the Capital by end of the week to do tests with Cardiologist.

GP was saying I am lucky, my heart warned me as a lot of folk die from strokes caused by this and do not even realize they had Cardio arrhythmia…

as for me, scared as ****, feeling better and big lifestyle choices to be made..

Glad to hear your on the mend.

You know, I can't think of any other forum member on here whose posts grab any significant amount of my attention anywhere near as much as yours always do, I do hope this remains so for many years more.

Side note, I recently got a copy of the raw data from my watch with the intention to get a wider perspective on the physical things it records, would be interested to see what my haert rate pattern over days and weeks are.
Such a schlep to compile it into statistics though.

Jeez, luckily they caught it early and were able to take quick action!

Finally getting somewhere with my arrhythmia. Because it’s so random, holter monitors never pick it up, and by the time I get to A&E the ECGs can’t, either. So I’ve now got an ILR implanted in my chest recording and transmitting 24/7. Hopefully they pick up something. But, ironically, I’ve not had any symptoms since I had it implanted. I asked if they were looking for anything specific like SVT, etc. They just came right out and said they were looking for afib…
