Re: [p_atrial_fib] Just Diagnosed

Oh, you're not alone. I'd WPW (PAT & RBBB) and A-Fib.
HBA in 1985. Pacemaker in 1982. I didn't take any
medication. I shopped myself get some lollies and
relieved my tears.

Have you had the ablation yet? Do you feel an
elephant sitting on your chest? Any palpitations or
vibration in your chest? I had it. Last afternoon, I
went for a TCM treatment. She's got the elephant but
didn't lock up securely. This morning the elephant
come back to my chest and looking for a banana. It
stayed and not go away.

I'd an echo in March this year. Cardio didn't ring.
My local Dr rang the cardio's office and get faxed.
They'd filed it away already. It was quite normal,
only the left ventricle mildly enlarged. Don't forget
to get a copy for yourself to keep. Keep me posting.
See your EF (in %) at the echo report. You'll find it
very interesting.

come when you wanna get one of these dang things..you
don't get it?
Had an echo 2 days ago, but no cll from doc yet. Tech
said I had leaky
valves. I'm scared, but if it was bad, wouldn't the
doc have called me
by now? He just said to start taking an aspirin a day.
Any suggestions
how to control these episodes? I've been taking
metoprolol for the
last 6 years and Xanax, which both drugs have helped
me BIG time. Any
help would be appreciated.

The echo techs are pretty good and if they saw something bad they would have had your doctor on the phone in minutes. What kind of event monitor is it? Do you...
