I spent the entire game in the emergency room.

I have A-fib and I had heart attack symptoms, very light headed, dizzy, numbness in my left arm, and tingling all over, so I had tWfie drive me to the emergency room. Better safe than sorry. Thankfully, the first set of blood tests tests came back negative, but, more importantly, I was able to stream the game on hospital wifi and watched the game on my phone using the WatchESPN app. I'm laying here in the hospital bed waiting for the 2nd set of blood tests to come back, but I think everything's ok and I'll be able to leave soon.

1. Hope all goes well. Pulling for you.
2. You will need to spend every game in the ER now.

Ok, but I'll need some help paying if insurance doesn't cover it.  I don't know if they have a code for football mojo.

Holy fuckballs, man. Glad things sound like they're OK.

Hope all goes well, but how was watching the game with a heart monitor on? Pulse racing for that last drive and the kick?

Also, get well brother

Hope everything turns out okay. I've had a-fib for around 30 years now and been battery operated for almost that long.

We will start a fund. Don't worry. Bob Sak is pretty generous.

I was calm the whole game until Gieger had to kick it. Then my heart was going like mad!

Just got the ok to go home! Woo Hoo! Everything's fine! Going home!

Fuck me. Be well you're a tough cock sucker.

Go green bitch ass.

Code hope you're ok. That was amazing. If you weren't actually having one I'm surprised the game didn't send you into cardiac arrest. Please get well.

Glad to hear you're in the clear. Be well, Code.

Really glad to hear you're okay and now home. Also happy to hear you got to see the game.

But there's still no excuse for you to have not taken and shared pics of nurses. WTF were you thinking? you selfish bastard.

Trust me, no hot nurses, but they were kind. From a body shape perspective, lets just say they were well rounded because I don't like bagging of the appearance of kind people.

They weren't RCMB dudes were they? You've offered to have sex over there many times in the past NTTAWWT.

My cardiologist says I'll eventually be battery operated too. Is it a hassle to have a pacemaker?

How did you know you had A fib? What were the symptoms?

DWags wrote:How did you know you had A fib? What were the symptoms?

Don't know about Code but when mine acts up I get a bit light headed, can often feel my heart being "fluttery" and overall weakness. Mine first surfaced in my early 30's so I've lived with it on meds for 25 years, no pacemaker yet but 2 heart attacks over a decade apart from it.

DWags wrote:How did you know you had A fib? What were the symptoms?

I didn't know I had A-Fib. It was found during my annual physical 3 years ago. I had a follow up check a week later and was still in A-Fib. I have absolutely no symptoms of any kind. Most people feel a racing heart and have trouble breathing. My PCP sent me to a cardiologist and they gave me a treadmill stress test and was able to do the test with no problem all the way up to like 180 beats per minute. They also found out that my heart stops beating for like 2 seconds at a time quite often. I never felt it. Cardiologist said A-Fib can be caused by sleep apnia, so he had me do a sleep study. Turns out I have extremely severe sleep apnia, which my wife has said for years. For most sleep apnia patients, they classify severe as over 30 apnias per hour. I had 90 apnias per hour. Plus I have what they call "complex" sleep apnia where the apnias go from obstructive to "central" apnias when I go on a regular CPAP machine. A central apnia is one where the brain stops telling the lungs to breath, so I have a special machine called a BIPAP ST which senses when I stop breathing and forces a breath. I'll tell you what though, I never knew what sleep was until I got the machine. I've had such bad sleep my whole life that I never knew how tired I was. I just thought everyone felt tired like that and I thought it was normal. With the machine, the first few times, I felt like I was on speed the next day. I'm used to the feeling of energy now. I love my BIPAP machine.

Moral of the story, if a person thinks they might have sleep apnia, they should have a sleep study, because sleep apnia can lead to A-Fib and A-Fib can lead to stroke. I have to take Xarelto, which is a blood thinner because blood can pool in the Atrium and clot and then the clot can get pumped out and go to the brain, causing the stroke, and the blood thinner keeps that at bay. However, having blood thinners is a hassle because every little cut bleeds like mad. Also, if I get into an accident, I can bleed to death very easily, and Xarelto has no antidote like Coumadin, so the doctors would have to just wait and try their best to control any bleeding that may result from an accident. However, it's not like I spend my time worrying about that, but I don't like having that risk factor, that's for sure.

You should change up your Saturday afternoon routine every once in a while. Go hang out at the men's room at a rest area or something like that.

Shit, that's happened to me twice in the last year. If I go get that checked and don't have the symptoms at the time can they tell?

No, you get used to it. I get it checked every three months and replaced every 6 or 7 years, I'm on my third one now. Main problem is that your heart starts to get lazy after a while and won't pump as efficiently as it should. They fixed that in me by going to a three wire pacemaker. You also get put on a blood thinner like coumadin or pradaxa. Stay away from the coumadin if at all possible, that stuff needs constant monitoring and it's easy to get screwed up protimes with it.

They'll probably send you home with a holter monitor. It records what's going on with your heart over a 24 hour period. Usually something will show up within the twenty four hours if it's severe enough to matter.

To tell you the truth I don't know. I think they can with an EKG or a 24 hour monitor you have to wear. Reading Code's description reminded me that shortness of breath is another symptom during a really bad bout of it - your heart isn't pumping properly so you feel short of breath even if you're breathing normally.

Depends on if you're in A-Fib all the time like me.  They will do an EKG and they will see it.  That's how they found mine.  The doc was listening to my heart during the physical and thought it sounded weird, so he hooked me up to the EKG and the rest is history. I did have to do the heart monitor thing for like 48 hours. That's when they found that my heart stopped beating for a second or 2 at a time quite often.

Thanks I'm going this week.
