Yesterday I had to go into the hospital to have my heart put back into normal rhythm as the upper chambers were in atrial fibrillation.

It was a bit scary, but after 3 "ZAPS" they got it back into normal rhythm. :yes:
Thank God they put you to sleep for it all. :shocked:


Now all I have to do is hope it stays in rhythm and it's all good. :pray:

I have to say, I already feel better now that my heart rate is back down to 60 bpm from the 115 to 120 bpm it was at just sitting still.

I want to thank all of you who have wished me well, and already called to see how it all turned out. :thumbup:

MM, is this the first time you've experienced this? I have atrial tachycardia. It was diagnosed in 1971. I'm now 61. Mine has been clocked at 210. Yes, it is scary :yikes:. Prayers for you and that they find the cause.

I didn't know you were having difficulties either! Glad the procedure went well. Hope and pray the doctors can find the cause, especially should this happen again. :yikes:

Glad you are feeling much better now. Hugs for you and Patti.
