Brother I know all about AFib. I've had some real bad attacks. When it happens my HR goes into overdrive and I turn gray because my heart is beating so fking fast I can see it in my shirt. Soak my clothes from sweating. Damn near pass out and my chest hurts like a mother fker because it's not getting blood properly and neither is any of my organs. Which is very dangerous because it can cause strokes. I cough and message my neck arteries trying to get the AFib to stop. The last time it happened was horrible. The last one was due to fking RSO oil. I have to be very careful about getting Sativa's and not knowing it. Sativa's fk my heart up. Indicas do not. Normally I can go several months without any AFib due to the Beta Blocker and my Thyroid meds. Make sure they check you Thyroid bro because it can cause AFib too. There are things you can do to help stop AFib while your having it .That is what they are finding out. My BP and pulse rate are fine now. This moanin' it was 120/70 and 56 BPM.
They tooken an EKG, and said the numbers were great. They actually said I "had the heart of a child". I told them I keep it in a jar under the bed. <-- That got a two-second blank look, followed by a lotta laughter on the tech's part.
BUT -- I gotta be set up for a stress test since the atrial fibrillation episode (that would become a stroke if not stopped***) caused them to notice a coupla little indicators (enzymes) in my heart that are outa whack. (eg: potassium)
So we gonna whack them. Stress test next Moanday at 12:15. They gonna have me splitting rocks. No eat. No coffee. Go 40 miles to work out onna fargin treadmill with one-and-a-half legs. I am gonna be one dangerous, pissed off dude. Cannot even toke Uno Who's Finest!!
For Rosty: Yes, I will be splitting them by whacking them with my pecker as usual, just like I do with the coconuts.
***The upper left ventrical of your heart is the one that gives the signal to the big lower left to pump out blood to everywhere. There is a little "pocket" in the upper part of YOUR left ventrical. Seems there's one in mine, too.
No prob if the gatekeeper says "GO" to the big guy once every second or so. But if the sumbitch gets into Patwi's stash and decides to tell the big guy to pump 140 times a second... The upper ventrical does not empty out all the way. It just sorta vibrates all over half-assed.
Some blood gets caught up in the tippy corner, and gets stuck there because of the ****** of #3 chamber. BTW: You can still function, because your heart IS getting some blood out there.
But -- when blood just sits... it does what it is susposed to do: It CLOTS. Now ya got a nasty hard goober in your heart. WHEN (not if) it eventually gets pumped out...
It can lodge in an artery in your brain... 🕷
Game over.
#1.Cough real hard.
#2. Bend over and strain like your going to the bathroom.
#3 rub both sides of you neck on the big arteries in your neck
By the way if your not on Blood Thinners you need to be it can safe your life from the blood clots caused by AFib. I'm on Plavic.
