Atrial flutter

Anyone care to hop on the Flutter Bus with me?

It's been a long ride so far......going on 8 hours of constant flutter ranging from 120-150bpm and that's on 150mg of Toprol XL.....I especially like the intermittent revs up to 180. Those are nice.
I wish I had a tachometer to watch when that happens. Someone needs to lay of the gas pedal, it ain't me.
Frank quit rev-ving me up like that. You little sick and twisted, thang you. I know I made your toupee blow off your head with that 70 mile windstorm that I created, but jeez.....give me a break. It was just a joke. You too, Patch. I know ya'll are conspiring against me, but I'm not the one that caused the wind to blow up your drawers. At least not like that........

bonus: it's ALL me.....I'm not even pacing.

For those of you wishing to have another ablation, please remember my story. That's another 60 grand down the toilet, I think. LOL! Makes me wanna practice for Patch's olympic event. Ain't nothing like.....p****ing in the wind. LOL!

I didn't even feel this fluttery when I fell in love for the first time......lol.

I know that my heart is not beating properly. Seriously, ya'll please think good thoughts that I don't form clots and stroke out. At 33, that's one thing I believe that I can live without.

Afib...

Hi Angelie,

I don't have a clue what Afib is really, but I've read enough to know that I'm knocking on wood that I haven't gotten it...yet. I've had a lot of medical problems during the last 5 years and the scarey part is trying to find someone to help you.

What I'm trying to say is don't ever give up. Find a doctor who is willing to listen and help. That, my friend, is a full time job and very frustrating.

Can you not call your cardiologist or EP or someone to see if they can help you like today or tomorrow or at least this week? What about going to the dreaded ER?

No one deserves to go through stuff like this and unless we keep on informing our doctors then they think we are fine. I truly swear by the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Sorry I can't be of any assistance, but please know you're in my thoughts.

Pookie

alright.....

fixin' to go to the dreaded ER. It's been 9 hours and I have reached my threshold, and am no longer willing to accept being this darned uncomfortable.
Just hadn't gone, because I'm scared that they're gonna shock the crap outta me. ZzzzAAppp...!! Barbeque anyone.....sometimes those paddles leave burn marks.
Hey, I know.....if I had Markjbaker's rugged little portable defibrillator, I might actually consider shocking myself and saving the 800 buck ER charge.
Pretty sad when you have to decide whether or not to go to the ER due to costs, and some people get a free ride for their "ear aches". Ode to the good ol U S of A.
See ya'll,
Angelie

You know you're wired when...

You can feel your fingers and toes again.
