Hopper maybe the A -fib was from something else or too much or even a combination of stuff ?

Could be Keef. I know i was under alot of stress at the time it happened.
By the way was it you who told me the that the veins from my legs they used to do my bypass were bigger then the ones they bypassed?
 
Yep Hopper that was me !-- Assisted with way too many C.A.B.G. ( coronary artery bypass graft )-- The veins they take from your leg is bigger but It's like having a big piece of pipe in the middle of a small piece !-- Only so much blood can get thru at a time -- There's a problem with the graft wanting to close up at either end sometimes -- U using a piece of vein to the job of an artery !-- Talk to your Doctor Cuz !-- Sounds like an electrical problem in the heart !-- Did they have to shock U to get the heart beat to stabilize? -- In A- fib the small chambers of your heart are not beating in sequence with the rest of the heart !-- More of just quivering instead of beating ! -- Sometimes we have to shock the heart kinda like pushing a reset button !
 
My lawn mower got 146 cc engine -- The scooter gonna have 150 cc. Engine --Shame the parts won't swap out !--
 
No they didnt have to. Everything went back to normal on its on. Hasnt happened like that since i got on the Matroponol. Very small dose. I just get a little bump every once in awhile .My heart dont speed up or nothing. Just kinda of a guick sharp bump. Hard to explain. But no flutter with any heart racing or nothing. Use to get these little flutters sometimes, very weird feeling. But only once did it flutter and my heart started racing. But again i was under a tremendous amount of stress at the time. Sure good to talk to someone that knows something about this crap. Whats weird is it never seems to happen while im working,,mostly just setting still when those bumps happen. Sometimes it just a quick sharp pain, and i mean quick. Hate them basterds, but much better then the racing heart crap. Lol
A friend who had the CABG said his Doc told him them quick sharp pains were probably a nerve. Its like an electric shock. Scares the crap outta me. Lol
 
Hopper it would be real hard to know what the sharp pains are unless U were hooked up to a monitor when it happened !-- Stress can kill U !-- U gotta start finding ways to eliminate stress !--
A bypass is just what it says it is !-- A heart vessel gets block or mostly blocked by plac and the part of the heart that vessel was feeding can begin to die !-- So we run a piece of vein from the vessel where the blood comes out the heart and run a line down passed the narrowing heart vessel !-- By passing the narrow piece !-- Some time we would take that one vein and by pass several narrow places just going from one to another with the same vein !-- Painless operation if U helping !-- Use a power saw to cut down the middle of the breast bone then put a jack in to open it up enough to work !--
 
Mine was a triple bypass. I messed my arteries up with all the chemicals when i was in the Outlaws. Hell,,my Cholesterol was only 179 when i had my heart attack. I believe mine was due to abuse not high cholesterol. I was an *****. I have changed my whole life since the CABG. I hope it holds up.
By the way,,thanks Keef for taking the time to talk to me about this. Believe me it helps.
 
No problem Hopper !-- I'm not doing anything today anyway !-- If I don't take the time to just stop till the inflammation around the nerve root in my neck settles down things will get bad !-- It doesn't even have to be over use !-- Stress can set it off !-- My face just gets aggravated everytime the weather changes sometimes worse than others !-- Anyway -- Chemicals may have had something to do with it but that cholesterol build up is 2 things -- diet and heredity !-- U need regular mild exercise and a good diet and a stress free life (as stress free as it can be ) !
 
I didn't have a by pass, a had a stent instead. My cholesterol was 378 but the HDL was 7. They told me it had to be heredity with an HDL that low. I honestly don't know enough about my father and his family's history with heart disease. My mother's side shows nothing with CAD just cancer. So after being off my meds for cholesterol and high blood pressure for a while now I had blood work done and it looked really good. I did change my diet and exercise. But 164 and 34 is a vast improvement.
 
Before my fall D.D. and I were both in nursing school and getting close to the end !-- I had always been able to take care of myself !-- I always been cocky and was very good at what I did !-- Then the fall and I couldn't even trust my own mind !-- I had to decide if I could swallow my pride and let my wife support me or do what most would do and bite a bullet !-- I sucked on my pistol but never could get the job done !-- So this is my life !-- Things are much better now that I'm only taking cannabis instead of the morphine and heavy muscle relaxers and anti psychotics!-- The brain works again !-- I try to make the best of the way things are !-- I coulda died or paralyzed !--I get by !

Glad you stuck around Keef! I won't pretend to know what you went thru but all the same, I'm glad your here. You too Hopper!
 
Thanks Red Eyes !-- D.D. has taken care of me a long time and I want my turn !-- About the only skill I got left that's worth a flip is that I can grow weed !-- So I'm waiting and hoping for the end of prohibition here or even some wiggle room !-- I keep asking D.D.-- Now ?-- She say not yet !-- I have to get the grow hidden and secure the way the army taught me !-- Right now I got my 8 bloom boxes fed by 3 boxes in veg !-- I been living off what we had put up after my nephew cleaned me out !-- Take 2 full months to set up a 8 part rotation but once she full it starts coming out of bloom every week with these 60 day finishers !-- I be glad when I'm putting it in a jar instead of taking it out !-- I got me a press of sorts so I plan to start putting up oil until the end of prohibition !-- The law doesn't prevent me from moving some now !-- D.D. does !-- For now !
 
I did a test once about having some west coast weed !-- Medical people be liking some Nurse Larry !-- Shame I couldn't get anymore !-- If they knew I was gonna be putting the Nurse in an e-cig cartridge they would be beating down my door !-- They can't know nothing !
 
Red Eyes I live on a smuggling route they don't so much look for growers !-- D.D. make me be careful !-- I live at the beach -at night I can sit out back and listen to the surf !-- It's a resort area and everytime the beach gets crowded I think of all the peeps over there that would love some of my weed !-- It gets tempting but I know they got that task force -- They bust someone with something other than Mexican brick weed it goes to the task force who trace it back to the source !-- I don't want to be traced back to !-- I am allergic to jail !
 
I also getting old and I'm not sure I could take another one of those complimentary beat downs that comes with getting caught !--
 
Yep thats sounds much better Umbra. I remember before i stopped taking a Statin it git to 90. I couldn't remember **** and my muscles went to hell. I got off the Statin and that all went away.
 
Hi guys, i like getting caught up in here.

WH, my 26 year old trainer has afib. She is going for the heart ablation next. I have another friend that had the ablation and was great for 30 years and just had another one. It doesn't sound fun but it is good to know people go on and in both cases they were athletes. I am glad the pot didn't cause any thing with your heart. Stress can kill ya I am pretty sure, or make ya kill people, and that doesn't work for me.

Keef you got that lawn mowed ? Lol

One of my best buddies in high school just left. when she got here this morning i was hauling wood chips that i had used a snow shovel to put in the wheel barrow. I was a mess and here she is. She is the lady that introduced me to bud. we smoked and laughed. She thought me making lunch would be better than going out.. It is going to 108 on Wednesday... gotta figure out to help out the plants. Going to spread the wood chips over the plants for heat help. I got them fed this morning... Bud has another week on the walker...
