Dam man. I teared up before she even started singing.

Me too.

I don't watch this show so obviously I hadn't seen or heard about this. I expected something at the end about her dying but nothing. So I googled. RIP.

Who is the female judge other than Sofia?

Edit: duh. Googled it. Heidi Seal.

Aaaaand, now I have a referral to a cardiologist. The 7-day Holter monitor showed an impressive variety of heart arrhythmias. I’ve bidden a sad farewell to wine, but I won’t give up coffee without a fight!

There’s probably going to be a wait for an appointment, so meanwhile my primary care doctor wants me to come in and discuss going on an anticoagulant (“blood thinner”) for stroke prevention. Ugh.

Getting old sucks.

when I first got the D2 diagnosis the ER Dr said to make an appt the next day -- I didnt have a PCP at the time - so when I called one they said how about ... ( 2 months away ) and I said Well ok if Im still alive -- they made it for a couple days from my call - try that maybe it will work

lol, the things we have to do, right?? I’m glad you were able to stir them up.

I’ll definitely ask for first available, call me if a cancellation, all that.

This is so annoying! I don’t know if I get tired and out of breath when I exercise from the arrhythmias, or if I’m tired and out of breath from being out of shape, and therefore I need to exercise, and round and round.

Classes start Monday of next week (nine days.) At least I don’t have any field biology classes, but I have a lab for my ag class. Gah

Seems you're dealing with some of the same stuff I am.

I have figured out that I can have a little coffee in the morning if I eat something first. That's hard for me to do. And to make it worse I can't season it or add flavors. Almost everything tears my stomach up.

I did the same exact thing with the growth on my arm lulz. My PCP saw it and referred me to a dermatologist who called a couple of days later and said we can get you in in a couple of months. I said ok if I’m still alive. They called back the next day which was a Tuesday and said they had a cancellation and I could come in on Thursday.

Stomach is fine, I’m just worried that I’ll have to give up caffeine because of the pit-a-pat effect.

It’s kind of cool how life gets so interconnected. Reading your rants and experiments with fitness watches got me to buy one, which got me monitoring my sleep, which got me to start checking the heart rate functions of the watch, which got my butt to the doctor, which got me on the Holter monitor, which (essentially) showed that I wasn’t waking up with my heart pounding from nightmares, but that there’s something wonky with my heart’s electrical system. Also you sharing your story with what you’ve been dealing with and @ArdentVol sharing his wife’s story. (Hey, at least I haven’t passed out!)

So thank you.

I never watch it either. My brother posted it in our sibs IM page.

I just deleted a tl;dr post explaining why you should listen to my advice and buy a Garmin Venu. Lol.

Interesting. I’m surprised wine is an issue with arrhythmia.

Any alcohol can (doesn't automatically) trigger it. *sigh* Oh well, I've definitely had my fair share over time! Time to find a different way to deal with mild anxiety.

Great device, but I'll bet it can't come up with this!

Ah, took me a minute... No, switching chemicals is not something I care to do. lol

I was just suggesting it because it has the ECG monitoring plus all the stuff that mine and Bill's has that you mentioned you liked the details of.

But anyway, I deleted so no sense in retyping it.

 

[VolNExile]

Whoa

Yeah, things you don't want to see next to your name. No v-tach or v-fib, or I'd be dead and all, so there's that to be happy about.

I didn't tolerate metoprolol when my previous doc put me on it last spring, so unless this somehow settles back down, I'm probably headed for an ablation like Mrs. A-V just had.

My docs (primary care) have been pleasantly amazed at how good the ECG on my watch is. The first one did a for-real ECG at the clinic and said he could see how the watch might have misread it as a-fib, because what I have produces a very similar pattern.

But I'm still jelly of y'all's fancy displays!

 

[VolNExile]

Did this come from your watch app?

No, from a wearable external monitor (the Zio referred to) that I had for seven days and then mailed in for interpretation. Technology is pretty amazing. Although I'm still getting the sticky off my skin where it was! Dang, that stuff is persistent.

As Johnny Carson would’ve said I did not know that.

I've learned from my watch how much alcohol affects HRV, and like you said it's all connected. Makes me appreciate the complexity of God's creation even more.

Yeah, that's a word. I've an idea that when we meet Him He could probably give us several other words we've never heard that expresses it better, and somehow we'll understand.
