To update this the whole 14 days I wore a heart monitor I was in afib whole time. Go to cardiologist next Friday morning to see where I go from here.
I’m not the healthiest person, but if I could rewind time I wish I could have done some stuff different. That’s all I have to say
Please keep us posted!Today I go to heart doctor to hear what he has to say.
Well, heart doctor scheduled me for conversion and echo “internally” at hospital which is just 2 miles away from his office. I go for that March 21st. Mom and stepdad will be in town that whole weekPlease keep us posted!
Let me know if you need diet tips.
No problem. I was there with him for much of the ride and he hasn't been shy about sharing stuff, so I can provide a lot of "patient perspective" info that might be valuable.That really touched me - I appreciate that !
My father in law had a pacemaker/defib combo implanted about 10 years ago. The battery finally needs to be replaced. I'm taking him in a couple weeks for pre-surgery testing. Hopefully the surgery will after his wife finishes her oncology radiation treatments.My friend had a pace maker installed. His pulse rate would drop off a cliff for no reason. He's laying in his hospital bed when one of those nursing assistants wanted sponge his underarms. She told him to raise up his arms so that she could clean underneath them. He raises up his arms like he's told to and pulls all the electrical wires out of his chest. Now he's waiting to have the surgery all over again.

I do that all day at work. Been lifting some and using an roller more too. Mom got me tons of groceries and heart healthy book. Think I’m done with the beer for long time; way too many carbsCan you walk some? Walk a little further each day.
On your feet all day and raising your heartrate for a specific time are different things. You may not want to walk, maybe a bike or something. Since you have a cardio make use of him and ask him for a recomended exercise target heartrate and for how long each day. Your insurance may also pay for a session with a real medical grade physical therapist that can help with a program - not some no pain no gain guy from the gym.I do that all day at work.
