PAM, AT 18 MONTHS POST MAZE, ONE MORNING I START HAVING SKIPPED BEATS WITH LONG INTERVALS WHICH MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT. ALSO RUNS OF FAST BEATS FOR LESS THEN A MINUTE. LIKE YOU IT FELT LIKE AFIB. I HAD 48 HOUR MONITOR AND THIS SHOWED PAT'S AND SOME QUICK RUNS OF AFIB BUT NO LONGER THEN 3 SECONDS. DR. SAID I JUST HAD AND IRRITATED HEART AND THE ELECTRIC ACTION TRYING TO PUT ME IN AFIB WAS PROBABLY STOPPED BY THE MAZE LINES. I HAPPENED TO BE UNDER ALOT OF STRESS AT THE TIME AND WAS DRINKING TOO MUCH COFFEE.
WENT BACK TO DECAF COFFEE AND STOPPED DOING THAT WHICH WAS DISTRESSING ME AND HEART CAME BACK TO NORMAL. STILL HAVE SOME PATS NOW AND THEN BUT THATS NORMAL. REGULAR EXERCISE SEEMS TO HELP. HOPE I FEEL AS GOOD IN 6 YEARS. GOOD LUCK TOM
