ROGER, ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO AFTER BEING IN NSR AND VERY FEW PATS FOR 18 MONTHS POST MAZE, ONE MORNING I GOT VERY IRREGULAR HEART BEATS WITH LONG SKIP INTERVAL THAT MAY ME FEEL FAINT.AT NIGHT HEART FELT LIKE IT WOULD JUMP OUT OF MY CHEST. MY RATE WOULD BOUNCE BETWEEN 40 AND 108 BPM AS SHOWN ON A WORK OUT PULSE MONITOR. I FEARED THAT MY AFIB WAS BACK. WENT TO MY FRIEND A CARDIOLOGIST AND HE PUT ME ON A HOLTER MONITOR FOR 48 HOURS. THE WEEK BEFORE I WAS UNDER SOME STRESS AND I WAS PROBABLY DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE AND THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. AT ANY RATE THE MONITOR SHOWED ME TO ME IN SINUS BUT BUT WITH ALOT OF PATS. DR. SAID IT LOOKED LIKE MY HEART WAS VERY IRRITATED BUT NO AFIB OR FLUTTER. A FEW SHORT BOUTS OF TICARDIA.
THIS LASTED FROM WED TO SATURDAY AND WAS A LITTLE BETTER EACH DAY. NOW IM BACK TO NSR WITH A FEW MISSED BEATS NOW AND THEN AFTER STRESS OR WORKOUT.
IT SCARED ME BUT I HOPE IT WONT HAPPEN TOO OFTEN. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. TOM
