Stop in for a cup of coffee

Yeah, it reset back to normal rhythm about 30 mins ago.

I have been dealing with this off and on for 3 years now. It doesn’t last long enough for any intervention although I have been in the ER for it twice. Most times between 15 mins and 3 hours, but one or two have gone 8 hours, hence the ER visits.

My cardiologist says nothing can be done unless it persists for a couple of days...but it is scary as hell when it happens.

Never sure if the next heartbeat is the last while it’s happening. Even he says that a real possibility. Just hope, pray and get to the ER if you think it’s needed.

Kinda changes my perspective on life.

When my BP was getting out of whack early last year my pulse was jumping way up and I would shiver uncontrollably. That's when I had the monitor on for a month. Only caught one brief episode of afib that I know. That's when I was in a junkyard getting Neon parts and my pulse hit 180. As scary as those shivering episodes can be I think the longest might have been a half hour. Has happened several times, but nothing more than a few minutes for several months now. So, yeh I guess knowing your actually in afib for that long would be quite concerning to say the least.
