So since I last posted, I started feeling like my old self again from last Sunday until today, Thursday pm. No episodes of rapid heartbeats.

Had my nuclear stress test this morning and felt quite fine all the way through it. No problems whatsoever. Then just after 12pm today as I walked up the stairs at home , it happened again. Good thing I am wearing an event monitor for 25 more days and recorded the event.

So during the testing the technician pulled up my chart and noted a 13sec episode of v-tach showed up on my 7/29 phone interrogation. I had no idea. I asked if that was correct. She said yes. Something to definitely talk to the cardio about.

I was able to walk the treadmill until I got my heartrate up to 160 (167 is 100% THR) and had no problems.

So now it is just a wait and see until I get the results. They said up to 72 hrs and it being a long weekend I guess I will be waiting until Tuesday possibly to get the results. Until then I wil take it easy and not do any strenuous exercising.

Wishing all you in the US a great Labor Day weekend. We here on the east coast are bracing for a hurricane tomorrow.
