- Well, I had an interesting evening. I was sitting and working on my ipad, and my heart rate went up, and up, and up... 175. My heart was beating all over the place. I took the emergency pill, but nothing happened. I ended up calling 911. They sent...
- I keep hearing over and over that afib won't kill you. Apparently it is associated with a significant increase in mortality. This study really scares me. Has anyone seen any other studies to refute these findings?...
