Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Support Group
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (cardiac arrhythmia) which involves the two small, upper heart chambers (the atria). Heart beats in a normal heart begin after electricity generated in the atria by the sinoatrial node spread through the heart and cause contraction of the heart muscle and pumping of blood.
Hey guys Robert here...
I have been away for a while... the update is that I have developed significant angina. As a complication, I seem to have episodes of v-tach.
They last from a few seconds to more than 15. AFIB didn't scare me much, at least your heart would beat fast... but vtach causes the blood flow to slow or stop.
Having a 10 to 15 second episode every other day is becoming scarey... considering I'm almost 3000 miles from home in a hotel.
Anyone else gone from afib to vtach?

PS I love my tablet to surf, but not to type. Otherwise I would fill in more details.

Dr said "It's fine, those numbers look good..."
I guess those numbers look good, but I still feel wonky.

PS: I think I ended up wearing in on a 'good day' whereas if it were Monday, it's likely show something different.
