    Be well, J

    I had tachycardia many years ago and I know how scary that can be. After every test there is, they chalked mine up to stress. My mother was in the hospital, Lisa was pregnant with Brad, I was losing my job, and we just bought our first house. I was in my 20’s.

      On second thought, maybe not such a good idea, as they were trying hard to help me through this little episode. So I gave my body up to them. A couple days in the hospital for observation, and I'm good to go.

      At least no one told me that I've got to remain calm and not get too excited. Don't think that was happening.

      When the doctor came to say I was ok to be sent home, I replied with a smile, "Of course Doc, never a motherfucking doubt baby!"

      So now......................E-A-G-L-E-S.....EAGLES!!!!!

      Eagles!

        Glad things turned out ok

            Treatment is a shot that in effect stops, then re-starts your heart. Thankfully, it worked just fine. Now I've 2 new pills to take each day.

            If only for a moment, it did cross my mind that this would be one fucked up time to die (is there a good time?), a couple days before Philedelphia finally wins a Super Bowl.
            Try to relax, we need all IGGLEPHANS tonight.

                  Good meds for the BP. On lisinopril myself. And I feel you with the heartbeat. I enjoy the occasional afib bout, and it's no fun. Even after a (minor) surgical procedure, stress still causes it to pop up.

                  Hope you stay normal now (well, they rhythm anyway).
